The enzymatic activity of glucocerebrosidase in splenic extracts of the adult nonneurological form of Gaucher disease (type I) was 15% +/- 7% of normal, and the titer of enzyme cross-reacting material (ECRM) in these spleens was 54% +/- 9% of normal. The titer of ECRM in splenic extracts of tissues obtained from patients with the neurological forms of Gaucher disease (types II and III) was essentially the same as in type I Gaucher spleens (59% +/- 10% of normal), but the measurable catalytic activity of glucocerebrosidase in these spleens was substantially lower than that found in type I Gaucher spleens (2.3% +/- 0.6% of normal). Thus, the attentuated glucocerebrosidase activity in spleens from all three forms of Gaucher disease appears to stem from a structurally mutated enzyme that is altered in its catalytic efficiency and possibly in its antigenic expression.
