if you're Jewish,
it could be Gau,ther
Disease.

Gaucher (pronounced "Go-Shay")
Disease is the most common genetic
disease affecting Jews of Eastern and
Central European descent. One out of
every ten carries the Gaucher gene —
it is far more prevalent than Tay-Sachs.

Gaucher warning signs include:
• Fatigue
• Anemia
• Bone pain
• Easily fractured bones
• Bleeding problems and
easy bruising
• Low platelet count
• Enlarged liver and spleen

Fortunately, Gaucher can be detected
early with a simple test. And treatment
lets people with Gaucher live full,
productive lives. So don't wait another
minute wondering. Get the facts now.
