About Gaucher Disease Carrier Test | Ashkenazi in Syracuse
Gaucher disease carrier testing looks for mutations in the GBA gene that are linked to the condition, with particular attention to variants that are more common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that a person must inherit two copies of a disease-causing GBA variant, one from each parent, to develop the condition. A carrier has only one such copy and typically does not show symptoms, but can pass the variant on to a child.
The GBA gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. When this enzyme is deficient, certain fatty substances accumulate in cells, leading to the enlarged organs, blood abnormalities, and bone problems associated with Gaucher disease.
Certain GBA variants occur more frequently in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, so carrier screening is often offered to people with that background. A carrier result does not mean a person has Gaucher disease; it indicates that they could have an affected child if their partner also carries a variant in the same gene.
