Abstract
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal deposition disease due to the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. It is claimed that the development of parkinsonism in Gaucher disease is caused by some common genes. Due to the rarity of the association, in this article, we present a Gaucher patient who developed parkinsonism.
