OBJECTIVE
Fabry's disease is the second most frequent alteration of glycosphingolipid lysosomal storage diseases (after Gaucher's disease). Typical symptomatology starts in the first decade of life. Neuropathic pain, gastrointestinal involvement with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea and
BACKGROUND
Fabry's disease is due to alpha-galactosidase deficiency. This rare lysosomal storage disease is transmitted by recessive X-linked heredity. Sphingolipids (galactosyl-glucosyl-ceramide) accumulate in many organs.
METHODS
A 19-year-old man with known hypoparathyroidism presented with
We describe a 10 month old boy with alpha-mannosidosis who presented with recurrent bronchopneumonia and diarrhea. Facial coarsening, deafness, hepatosplenomegaly, umbilical hernia, pectus carinatum and widespread Mongolian spots were distinguishing features. He also had mild skeletal deformities
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency is an under-recognized lysosomal disease caused by deficient enzymatic activity of LAL. In this report we describe two affected female Mexican siblings with early hepatic complications. At two months of age, the first sibling presented with alternating episodes
Wolman disease is an ultrarare lysosomal storage disease caused by a mutation in the LIPA gene. The clinical features of Wolman disease include early onset of vomiting, diarrhea, failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, and bilateral adrenal calcification. We report the case of a 3-month-old infant
Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is a rare, life-threatening, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, which encodes for lysosomal acid lipase (LAL). This enzyme is necessary for the hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester and triglyceride in lysosomes.
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene that lead to a reduction or an absence of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, resulting in the progressive and multisystemic accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. Clinical manifestation varies from mild to severe,
The toleration and safety profile of the azalide antibiotic, azithromycin, has been assessed in 3,995 patients aged 2-94 (mean, 36) years, comprising 1,644 females and 2,351 males. Patients with infections of the respiratory tract or skin/skin structure received 1.5 g azithromycin over 5 days;
Pompe disease is a lysosomal storage disease due to deficient acid α-glucosidase (GAA) activity. Infants with the classic infantile-onset subtype present with severe hypotonia and cardiomegaly, and most expire in the first year of life, whereas the severity of the muscle-based manifestations in
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease characterized by the dysfunction of multiple systems, including significant gastrointestinal involvement such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, early satiety and nausea. The gastrointestinal symptoms of Fabry disease are thought to be due to
Objectives Sanfilippo syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis III, MPS III) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease, which is caused by lysosomal enzyme deficiency. This study was operated to investigate clinical and molecular characteristics of patients with MPS III, which will improve the
