    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder.
    • It results from a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase.
    • This leads to the accumulation of glucocerebroside in cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the classification of Gaucher disease.
    • To discuss its pathophysiology.
    • To outline the clinical manifestations, focusing on orthopedic aspects.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies and case reports.
    • Synthesis of information on disease mechanisms and clinical presentations.
    • Focus on orthopedic manifestations in pediatric and adult populations.

    Main Results:

    • Gaucher disease classification systems exist.
    • Pathophysiology involves enzyme deficiency and substrate accumulation.
    • Clinical signs include bone pain, fractures, and avascular necrosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Gaucher disease requires comprehensive understanding of its multifaceted nature.
    • Orthopedic complications are significant and impact patients across age groups.
    • Early recognition and management of skeletal issues are crucial.
