The GDB and MIM Catalogue refer to this gene as 'glucosidase beta, acid' (GBA), that corresponds to beta D-glucoside glucohydrolase (EC:3.2.1.21). However, the enzyme is actually D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase, which deficiency is known to cause different types of Gaucher disease. This marker comes in the MIM Catalogue under the numbers MIM:230800, MIM:230900, and MIM:231000 (the two latter being not independent)." |

The reaction catalyzed: D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine + H(2)O = D-glucose + N-acylsphingosine." |

In the province of Norrbotten (Sweden), where the incidence of Gaucher disease III is very high (1 per 5000 newborns), most probands are descended from a common heterozygous ancestor who lived in the beginning of 17th century. In this population, a MspI RFLP have been revealed within the coding region of the GCGD gene: one allele (1.70 kb) is found in homozygous patients, while the other (1.75 kb) is found in healthy persons (opposite homozygotes) and in heterozygotes. PvuII and NciI RFLPs reported for other populations have not been found there." |
