what type of gaucher is primary CNS disease

45
Q

skeletal abnormalities is present in what type of gaucher

A

type 1 and type 3

46
Q

reactions that use vitamin B12

A

convert homocysteine to methionine and to convert methylmalonly to succinyl coa

47
Q

in vitamin b12 deficiency what accumulates in the urine
