Prognosis If not treated by HSCT, the prognosis for long-term survival in GS type 2 is relatively poor, with many patients not surviving the first decade. The prognosis of GS type 1 is good.[orpha.net]
Prognosis depends on the severity of neurologic manifestations. Type 2 GS patients have mutations in RAB27A and hemophagocytic syndrome, with abnormal T-cell and macrophage activation. This type has a grave prognosis if untreated.[jddonline.com]
