    In Gaucher disease, the enzyme is unable to function correctly and glucocerebroside accumulates. The macrophages that clear these cells are unable to eliminate the waste product, which accumulates in fibrils, and turn into 'Gaucher cells', which appear on light microscopy to resemble crumpled-up paper.
    It is one of the most common lysosomal storage disorders. What Causes Gaucher Disease? Gaucher disease is caused by low levels of glucocerebrosidase (GCase), an enzyme that breaks down a fatty chemical in the body called glucocerebroside. Gaucher cells are normal scavenger cells called macrophages that become full of unprocessed glucocerebroside.
    Gaucher disease is characterised by a heterogenic disease course and is rarely considered in differential diagnosis. This presents a major problem, as correct diagnosis and treatment implementation are often delayed by many years. This can lead to serious complications and even premature death of the patient.
    The role of inflammatory processes in Gaucher disease is poorly elucidated. However, sphingolipids are known to participate in inflammation and apoptosis, and markers of macrophage activation are elevated in people with Gaucher disease.
