    Gaucher's disease is a genetic disorder where a fatty substance called glucocerebroside accumulates in certain cells, causing them to enlarge and take on a crumpled or smashed appearance. It results from a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Left untreated, it can potentially impact the liver, spleen, brain, and bone marrow.
