Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This letter reports on the effect of enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase on bone healing and bone and blood abnormalities in a woman with previously untreated type 1 Gaucher disease (GD). METHODS: The 49-year-old patient had been diagnosed with GD at the age of 28 years and had previously undergone splenectomy. She presented with pseudarthrosis 14 months after sustaining a traumatic fracture of the tibia and fibula. Therapy was begun with imiglucerase 60 U/kg q2wk. The effects of treatment on bone healing were monitored radiographically, and effects on blood and bone marrow biology were monitored by hemograms, myelograms, and hematopoietic and mesenchymal clonogenic assays. RESULTS: Objective bone healing was observed starting in the third month of imiglucerase treatment. Blood abnormalities normalized and bone marrow parameters improved over the first 9 months, including a decrease in Gaucher cells, an increase in bone marrow CD34+ cell cloning efficiency, and the appearance of mesenchymal progenitors. CONCLUSION: This research letter reports the results of hematologic and bone evaluations during enzyme replacement therapy with imiglucerase in a woman with previously untreated type 1 GD who presented with a traumatic fracture.
