Abstract

Gaucher disease (GD) is the most frequent lysosomal storage disease presenting in all populations. Mutations in the acid β-D-glucosidase gene (GBA) cause development of GD, resulting in a decrease or full loss of activity of this enzyme. We report here the results of the molecular-genetic analysis in 68 Russian GD patients from 65 families with the three types of this disease. The GD genotype has been completely elucidated in 58 patients and in all patients we have found at least one mutant allele (92.6%). Besides frequent mutations (p.N370S, c.1263_1317del (del55), p.L444P, p.R463C, Rec NciI) we have identified rare mutations p.R120W, p.R170C, p.R184W, p.G202R, Rec C (p.R120W; p.W184R; p.N188K; p.V191G; p.S196P; p.G202R; p.F213I), presenting in other populations of GD patients. The mutations p.P236T, p.L249Q, p.L288P, p.P319S, p.V352M, p.W381X, p.A384D identified in this study had not been described before. The GBA mutations identified in Russian patients have been compared with those found in patients of other European countries. Genotype-phenotype correlations in GD are discussed.
