- How to Read a Study Record
The main aim of this study is to learn if velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV) improves growth and symptoms in participants up to 5 years of age with Gaucher disease. Symptoms will be checked with blood tests.
This study is about collecting data available in the participant's medical record as well as data from each participant's ongoing treatment. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.
When the participants start the study, they will visit the study clinic every 6 months after their first visit.

Other: Standard of Care
Neonatal and pediatric participants who has been on ERT (VPRIV) will be assessed as per SOC.
Other Name: SOC |
- Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hb) Level [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Increase hemoglobin levels up to 11.0 gram per deciliter (g/dL) will be assessed.
- Percent Change From Baseline in Platelet Count Increase [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percent change from baseline for platelet count increase will be assessed.
- Percent Change From Baseline in Liver Volume [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percent change from baseline in liver volume will be assessed.
- Percent Change From Baseline for Spleen Volume [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percent change from baseline for spleen volume will be assessed.
- Percentage of Participants With Growth Normalization [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percentage of participants with growth normalization will be assessed.
- Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Bone Disease [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percentage of participants with improvement in bone disease will be assessed.
- Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Thrombocytopenia [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]Percentage of participants with improvement in thrombocytopenia will be assessed.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any event that results in: death; life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or results in prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; a congenital anomaly/birth defect or a medically important event. AEs include SAEs, non-serious AEs.
