A NOVEL SYNTHETIC AND RECOMBINANT GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE FOR GAUCHER DISEASE: IN SILICO MOLECULAR EVOLUTION AND GENE THERAPY APPROACHES TO ENHANCE ENZYME ACTIVITY

Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by pathogenic variants in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1) resulting in a markedly decreased activity of the lysosomal enzyme b-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Enzyme replacement therapy is the gold standard for treating GD pa...
