- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Z-scores from baseline in Skeletal Bone Mineral Density by Duel-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in children with Gaucher Disease type 1 and 3 receiving velaglucerase alfa. Baseline pre-intervention and yearly thereafter for 3 years
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in degrees/second from baseline in saccadic eye movements in children with Gaucher type 3 receiving velaglucerase alfa. Baseline pre intervention and yearly thereafter for 3 years Change from baseline neurodevelopmental testing normalized scores in children with Gaucher Disease type 3 receiving velaglucerase alfa. Baseline pre intervention and yearly thereafter for 3 years Change from baseline EEG (electroencephalogram) results measured in Hertz in children with Gaucher Disease type 3 receiving velaglucerase alfa. Baseline pre-intervention and yearly thereafter for 3 years. Change from baseline brainstem auditory evoked potential results measured in microvolts in children with Gaucher Disease type 3 receiving velaglucerase alfa. Baseline pre-intervention and yearly thereafter for 3 years
