Pathogenic variants in GBA are associated with the recessive disorder Gauchers disease. Gauchers is a lysosome neurodegenerative disorder that causes variable multi organ symptoms, that can include thrombocytopenia. The primary diagnosis of Gauchers disease relies on demonstration of deficient glucocerebrosidase (glucosylceramidase) enzyme activity.
Known pathogenic GBA variants, causing variable symptoms, are rare in most population, however, in the Ashkenazi Jewish population carrier frequency can be 1:18. Therefore, appropriate genetic counselling is necessary prior to testing, particularly in high risk populations, by a specialist clinical care team.

Mode of inheritance
BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Update from NIHRRD-BR BRIDGE they will no longer be reporting on this gene on their platform. After discussion with Genomics England Clinical team, as the MOI is listed as biallelic we would only prioritise variants that are homozygous or compound het. A parent might be found to be a carrier, when their child has the condition but that is to be expected and would be useful information. Gaucher is associated with haematological manifestations as part of the wider syndromic phenotype.Created: 12 Nov 2018, 5:17 p.m.
