#8 What is the life expectancy of someone with the disease?

     Usually the life expectancy of somebody with gaucher disease is between the ranges of 64-68 years of age. These predictions are usually made at birth, and are sometimes really acurate. This is about 9-12 years less than what the life expectancy of a regular person life span is.
