Abstract Gaucher disease (GD) is the commonest lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). We report a case series of GD from a single centre of North India. Over a 2-year period, 21 children referred with chronic splenohepatomegaly, after ruling out hemolysis and portal hypertension, were screened for GD. GD was diagnosed in 13 of them. Initial screening was done on a dried blood spot sample. Nine of them underwent molecular genetic testing and all 9 had the homozygous mutation c.1448 T>C; p.Leu483Pro (previously named as p.Leu444Pro). | |||
