A member asked:

Can you tell me if a parent has gaucher's disease type 1, does the child get gaucher's disease type 1 or type 2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gaucher's Disease: Hello Flopster555ii. The inheritance pattern of Gaucher's Disease is autosomal recessive which means it takes both parents to carry the affected gene to pass the condition to their child. Because the inheritance pattern is not always clear cut, I recommend pre-conception Genetic counseling for you and your partner. For future consults, my link is healthtap.com/vanessanealmd at code PNYTKV.
