Gaucher's Disease

[tpotter]

Has anyone heard of this, or had any dr. mention it? I was doing a search of some symptoms that DS has had (enlarged spleen, liver, low wbc), and that's one of the things that came up (we're seeing a hematologist in the next few weeks per our LLMD's recommendation, because of the spleen continuing to be enlarged.) It was very interesting that the description mentioned possible seizures, myoclonus, and of particular interest is they say that it is considerably higher in an Ashkenazi Jew (from German descent). I'm not saying that he has it, but there were an awful lot of similarities, and I'm just curious if this could, potentially, be part of the picture.
