Abstract
Gaucher's disease is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disorder, displaying hepato-splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anaemia and bone pain as characteristic features. Substitution therapy with a modified enzyme alglucerase has revolutionized the treatment and prognosis of Gaucher's disease. The first Danish patients treated with alglucerase are reported.
