CAUSES
Gaucher's disease is usually caused due to the deficiency of enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Enzyme glucocerebrosidase helps in breaking down the fatty material known as glucocerebrosides. Gaucher's disease is an inherited disease, which passes on to the child if both the parents are carrier of gaucher's gene. In case of both the parents being carriers of the gaucher's gene, there are only 25 percent chances in a child to develop gaucher's disease.
