초록
Gaucher disease is an inherited disorder due to a deficiency in the activity of glucocerebrosidase (EC. 3.2.1.45) by genetic mutation which resulted from missense, nonsense, frameshift, deletion in long arm 21 of chromosome 1 (1q21). Gaucher disease is classified into the main three types as type 1 (nonneuronopathic), type 2 (acute neuronopathic) and type 3 (subacute neuronopathic) according to the progressive phase of manifestations and nervous system involvement. Gaucher disease patients had been treated by using the method as splenectomy and bone marrow transplantation. But enzyme replacement therapy as a more effective treatment has been available since the early 1990's. In order to treat Gaucher disease efficiently by using ERT, it is necessary to chase the progress of the therapy. In this study, therefore, we tried to chase the progress of the ERT by using the measurement of chitotriosidase activity in Gaucher disease patients.
