Hi Vishal, Gaucher is usually inherited as autosomal recessive, which means both you and your partner has half the defect resulting in baby having the disease in 1:4 chance. Some forms can be sporaidic also. Tests are available to detect gaucher gene in fetus. Its better to go for one of those tests early and proceed further
