National Gaucher Foundation

The National Gaucher Foundation (NGF) is an independent nonprofit organization that serves U.S. patients with Gaucher disease and their families. A small group of families founded the NGF in 1984 to help develop treatments and a cure for Gaucher disease. They believed that patients should have more information and support in understanding the disease and finding new ways to treat it.

The NGF has directed millions of dollars to research at leading medical centers to develop Gaucher disease treatment and a cure for Gaucher disease.
