Gaucher's disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, leading to the buildup of fatty substances in organs such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. It presents in multiple forms, most commonly type 1, and requires specialized diagnostic and treatment approaches. The name derives from French physician Didier Gaucher, who first described the condition in the 19th century.
