Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the breakdown and storage of certain fatty substances in the body, particularly in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. It is caused by mutations in the GBA gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. Which of the following options correctly describes the symptoms of Gaucher disease?
