Patients with type 3 disease, in addition to organomegaly and bony involvement, present with neurologic involvement, most often including slowing of the horizontal saccadic eye movements. (medscape.com)
The factors that contribute to neurologic involvement in patients with types 2 and 3 disease are still unknown but may be related to the accumulation of a cytotoxic glycolipid, glucosylsphingosine, in the brain due to the severe deficiency of glucocerebrosidase activity or to neuroinflammation.
