Many people undergo genetic testing at some point in their lives — but miss the test for Gaucher disease.
This is because, although common, Gaucher Disease isn’t life threatening and is not included in all Jewish genetic testing panels.
Symptoms and signs of Gaucher disease include:
- Enlarged spleen and liver
- Low platelet count
- Easy bruising and nose bleeds
- Bone and joint pain
If you experience symptoms or if Gaucher disease runs in your family, it is important to get tested. Testing for Gaucher disease is easy and involves a standard blood test.
