Garrett Ihler, head of medical biochemistry, is working under a $23,(XX) March of Dimes grant to study treatment of Gaucher disease. It is caused by an inherited defi ciency of an enzyme and effects around 2,500 Americans. Without this enzyme, fatty sub stances accumulate in cells and cause bone fractures, troubles in blood clotting, anemia, liver disease and even progressive mental de terioration if the material makes its way to brain cells.
