This discussion group is a means of networking and communication for individuals concerned with Gaucher Disease and similar genetically-based diseases.

Requests for membership MUST include the applicant's full name, and a way to verify the applicant's identity. Acceptable forms of identification may include a telephone number registered to the applicant, a verifiable address, or nomination by someone else already known to the Gaucher community. The easiest form of identification would be a request for membership originating from a corporate or educational account belonging to the applicant. A brief explanation for the applicant's interest in this group is helpful, but is not a substitute for verifiable, personal identification. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS REQUIREMENT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
