Summary

The ICGG Gaucher Registry is an ongoing, international multi-center, strictly observational program that tracks the routine clinical outcomes for patients with Gaucher disease, irrespective of treatment status. No experimental intervention is involved; patients in the Registry undergo clinical assessments and receive care as determined by the patient's treating physician.

The objectives of the Registry are:

- To enhance the understanding of the variability, progression, and natural history of

Gaucher disease with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic interventions;

- To provide the Gaucher medical community with recommendations for monitoring patients

and to provide reports on patient outcomes to help optimize patient care; and

- To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
