Abstract

Glucosylsphingosine (lyso-GL1) is a biomarker used to monitor disease and treatment response in Gaucher disease. Data from adults show that higher values of lyso-GL1 are associated with increased disease progression, however similar data in the pediatric population is lacking. In a cohort of pediatric patients, we present a relationship between lyso-GL1 value and Gaucher type, age, and treatment response. Data from this study may serve as a reference for providers monitoring children with Gaucher disease.
