Phenotypic consequences of GBA1 pathological variant R463C (p.R502C).

ABSTRACT: Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic pathological variants in the GBA1 gene. Patients present along a broad clinical spectrum, and phenotypes are often difficult to predict based on genotype alone. The variant R463C (p.Arg502Cys) exemplifies this challenge. To better characterize its different clinical presentations, we examined the records of 25 current and historical patients evaluated at the National Institutes of Health. Nine patients were classified as GD1, 14 were classified as GD3, and two had an ambiguous diagnosis between GD1 and GD3. In addition, we reviewed the published literature in PubMed and Web of Science through December 2023, identifying 62 cases with an R463C variant from 18 countries. Within the NIH co
