How many people have Gaucher disease in China?

summary

Recently, I ran into a former primary school classmate. When he was a child, he was the shortest child in the class. Unexpectedly, he didn't grow very tall now. When I chatted with him, I realized that he was suffering from Gaucher's disease soon after he was born. Let's take a look at the following.

How many people have Gaucher disease in China?

First: when I was in primary school, I was not tall at all, but at that time, there was a boy who was shorter than me. When I ran into him some time ago, I found that he was not very tall, and I made a few jokes with him.

Second: students have to go to the hospital every two weeks to receive enzyme replacement therapy. It takes 1-2 hours each time, which can only alleviate the disease, but can not completely cure it.

Third: later, he told me that the reason why he didn't grow tall was that he suffered from Gaucher's disease soon after he was born. Because this disease is very difficult to treat, he loves that he hasn't cured the disease yet. He often has dyspnea, cyanosis, abnormal liver function, and his spleen is bigger than that of ordinary people. Sometimes he has difficulty swallowing.
