title: [Current and future biochemical markers for Gaucher disease].
abstract: The biochemical markers secreted by Gaucher's cells are numerous, but none of those identified to date has offered all the expected qualities of a biomarker. Chitotriosidase and chemokine CCL18 are the most useful markers to follow enzyme replacement therapy. The identification of new biomarkers in the near future should enable a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology of this complex disease, which involves numerous cell processes.
