Quick answer
Gaucher disease carrier testing examines the GBA gene for mutations that cause Gaucher disease, an inherited condition affecting how the body processes certain fats. It is used to find carriers who do not have the disease but could pass it to a child. The test is a blood draw and is often considered alongside other carrier screens.
What this test measures
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GBA gene. People with the disease lack enough working enzyme to break down a fatty substance, which can lead to an enlarged liver or spleen, low blood counts, and bone problems. Carriers have one altered copy of the gene and typically do not have symptoms.
The test analyzes DNA from a blood sample to look for the more common GBA mutations. Carrier status is reported when one mutation is found. Because the condition is more frequent in certain populations, including people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, testing is often offered in that context, though it can be done for anyone with a family history.
A carrier result does not mean the person has Gaucher disease. It means there is a chance of passing the condition if a partner is also a carrier. Genetic counseling is recommended so results and reproductive options can be explained. A qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor interprets the findings.
