Description : Gaucher disease type III is the subacute form of neuronopathic Gaucher disease. It
has later onset and slower progression compared to the acute form of neuronopathic
Gaucher disease, type II. Patterson et al. (1993) suggested that there are 2 phenotypic
subgroups of Gaucher disease type III: type IIIA, which is characterized by myoclonus
and dementia, and type IIIB, characterized by early onset of isolated horizontal supranuclear
gaze palsy and aggressive systemic disease. See also Gaucher disease type IIIC (231005),
which is associated with cardiovascular calcifications.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA, 606643.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased beta-glucocerebrosidase protein and activity;
