While the non-neuronopathic aspects of the disease can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), the early-onset neuronopathic form currently lacks therapeutic options and is lethal. We have developed an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSc) model of neuronopathic GD. Dermal fibroblasts of a patient with a P.[LEU444PRO];[GLY202AR ...[more]
