Predicting the probability of Gaucher disease in subjects with splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia

Abstract Hematologists are frequently involved in the diagnostic pathway of Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) patients since they present several hematological signs. However, GD1 is mainly underdiagnosed because of a lack of awareness. In this multicenter study, we combine the use of a diagnostic algori...
