Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a registry of patients' medical records can be used to identify people with undiagnosed Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder. If successful, the study could help doctors better understand and treat the condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who may have undiagnosed Gaucher Disease and have their medical records in the Partners HealthCare Patient Data Registry. People already diagnosed with Gaucher Disease cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if patient data can help find undiagnosed cases of Gaucher Disease. Participants will undergo a one-time visit involving a physical exam, family and medical history review, and blood tests for enzyme analysis.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are minimal side effects associated with this trial as it involves standard procedures like a physical exam and drawing blood (up to 20cc). Some might experience discomfort or bruising at the needle site.
