Replacement Therapy for Inherited Enzyme Deficiency: Use of Purified Glucocerebrosidase in Gaucher's Disease
Abstract
The effect of intravenous administration of glucocerebrosidase isolated from human placenta was investigated in two patients with Gaucher's disease who are deficient in this enzyme. The first received one injection of 1.5 x 106 units of glucocerebrosidase, and the second an injection of 1.65 x 106 units on two successive days. Liver biopsies were obtained before and 24 hours after injection of enzyme. Glucocerebroside in the liver of the first patient decreased from 702 to 519 μg per gram wet weight and from 1634 to 1214 μg per gram in the second after infusion of glucocerebrosidase. The quantity of glucocerebroside in erythrocytes of the two patients before infusion was 7.4 and 6.2 μg per milliliter of cells respectively and 2.9 and 2.6 μg per milliliter of cells 72 hours afterward. These findings indicate that exogenous glucocerebrosidase causes definite decreases in the quantity of accumulated lipid in patients with Gaucher's disease. (N Engl J Med 291:989–993, 1974)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
