[Enzyme replacement therapy in adult patients with type I Gaucher disease].

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the standard for the treatment of Gaucher disease (GD). A lifelong intravenous administration of a recombinant analogue of human glucocerebrosidase compensates for the functional deficiency of its own enzyme. The use of ERT has changed the clinical phenotype of GD, a severe progressive disease has been turned into the status of an asymptomatic metabolic defect. At the same time, a reduced dosing ERT regimen applied in Gaucher patients who had achieved therapeutic goals has not yet been developed.
