Medical Stories - Gaucher Disease: Shaina's Story

With only 6,000 cases in the U.S., Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder that, according to the Cleveland Clinic, can cause bone pain, enlarged organs, and bleeding problems. When she was a child, Shaina had dreams of becoming a stand-up comic as an adult. But she had to put those dreams on hold when she was diagnosed with Gaucher disease. At her home in Miami, Florida, the 34-year-old mother of two explains how despite her condition, she’s managed to channel her pain into an opportunity to make people laugh. This episode also features in-depth commentary from renowned expert Neal J. Weinreb, MD, Voluntary Associate Professor of Human Genetics, University of Miami.
