WHAT IS
TYPE 1 GAUCHER DISEASE?

Gaucher — pronounced GO SHEY — disease is a rare genetic disorder. It is caused when waste materials that are usually broken down cannot be, and instead slowly accumulate in different organs. Over time, this causes damage that can lead to a range of symptoms. As Gaucher disease is progressive, a timely diagnosis is important to manage the symptoms as early as possible.
