Abstract
We established that in untreated Gaucher patients the prevalence of overweight is lower than in the general population. Long-term treatment with enzyme therapy induces a larger than average weight gain leading to a similar prevalence of overweight in enzyme therapy treated patients and the general population. The prevalence of type II diabetes increases significantly during treatment with enzyme therapy, resulting in a comparable prevalence of type II diabetes in enzyme therapy treated patients and the general population.
