Abstract
Introduction:Gaucher’s disease (EG) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, caused by a deficiency of the acid B-Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) enzyme. In Colombia, a prevalence of 1: 266.441 inhabitants have been estimated. However, the country does not have exact data on the incidence, prevalence and population burden of this disease. Objective: molecularly characterize the variants found in the GBA gene present in patients from the Southwest of Colombia with Gaucher disease. Material and methods: 19 patients were included in the study, 57,8% male, with an age range between 4 and 71 years, clinically and enzymatically diagnosed with GD. A molecular analysis of the GBA gene was performed and the variants were subsequently searched in different population and clinical databases; In addition, a bioinformatic analysis was performed to evaluate the possible impact of the variants of interest on the structure and functionality of the protein. Results: 14/19 homozygous patients were found; 4/19 compound heterozygotes and 1/19 heterozygotes). The presence of 7 variants coding for 8 different genotypes was reported. The most frequent genotype was p.Asn409Ser/p.Asn409Ser (36%). Of the 7 variants found, it was reported that specifically p. Asn409Ser (10/23 alleles) and p.Leu483Pro (3/23 alleles) and p.Lys237Glu (3/23 alleles), are present in 69,5% of the alleles. All the variants presented a pathogenic clinical significance. Conclusion: This work contributes to the establishment of the molecular bases of GD in patients from the Southwest of Colombia, allowing a genotype-endotype-phenotype correlation to be carried out. Likewise, it is determined that diagnostic algorithms that include molecular analysis and bioinformatic predictive tools allow improving the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients affected by GD, generating a positive impact on the follow-up of those affected, hand in hand with correct genetic counseling and carrier studies.
