Association of Gaucher’s Disease with Hypoparathyroidism: Co-incidence or a Novel Association?

Abstract

Gaucher’s disease-related hypoparathyroidism is a condition that hasn’t been previously described. Here, we presented a ten years old boy referred to our clinic due to hypocalcemic convulsion who was found to have splenomegaly, bicytopenia and hypoparathyroidism. Gene muatation analysis was result in two mutation; (c.(1192C>T);(1226A>G) and p.(Arg359Term);(Asn370Ser). In the context of this patient with Gaucher’s disease, we will discuss whether this association is co-incidence or a novel finding.Keywords: Gaucher’s diease, Hypoparathyroidism, child
