Genotype D399N/R463C in a patient with type 3 Gaucher disease previously assigned genotype N370S/R463C.
A patient with type 3 Gaucher disease is described with a novel genotype, D399N/R463C, established by DNA sequencing. This patient was previously reported as having genotype N370S/R463C. This communication now establishes that no patients reported with mutation N370S have the neuronopathic forms of Gaucher disease and has important implications for genetic counseling.
