Identification of Some Mutations Responsibles for Infantile Gaucher Disease in Syria


Abstract in English

This study aimed to introduce - in our labs - a new method which confirms Gaucher disease, as we don't have the enzyme assay. In addition, We aimed to know the different mutations found in Syrian population and to compare it with other studies. In fact. we think that this the first time that such a study is carried out in Syria.
