We report the case of a 66-year-old man with adult-onset seizures and multiple cerebral cavernous malformations who developed numerous eruptive cutaneous angiokeratomas on the legs, scrotum, abdomen, and back as well as lobular and cavernous hemangiomas on the arms. Genetic analysis demonstrated a
Two members of a consanguineous Japanese family with a clinical picture of aspartylglycosaminuria (AGU) are described. Both patients exhibited mental retardation, coarse facial features, angiokeratoma and myoclonic seizures. Biochemical studies showed elevated excretion of urinary
CONCLUSIONS
Fucosidosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease with the main clinical findings of progressive neuromotor deterioration, seizures, coarse facial features, dysostosis multiplex, angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, visceromegaly, recurrent respiratory infections, and
Two additional patients with alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (alpha-NAGA) deficiency are described. An 11-month-old girl with nonconsanguineous parents had generalized seizures and no angiokeratoma. Biochemical investigation showed persistent slight oligosacchariduria; enzymatic analysis of plasma,
We report on clinical and neuroradiological findings in two patients with fucosidosis type II; a 7-year-old Jordanian boy and a 3 1/2-year-old Anglo-Canadian girl. This rare, autosomal recessive disorder is caused by deficiency of lysosomal alpha-fucosidase and is manifested clinically by
Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Its estimated frequency is below 1 in 200,000 live births. Its clinical phenotypes include progressive neurological and mental deterioration, coarse facial features, growth retardation, visceromegaly,
Fucosidosis (OMIM 230000) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to deficient α-L-fucosidase activity(EC 3.2.1.51), leading to the accumulation of fucose-containing glycolipids and glycoproteins in various tissues. This study contained the largest ever Tunisian survey of fucosidosis
Up to now eight patients with alpha-NAGA deficiency have been described. This includes the newly identified patient reported here who died unexpectedly aged 1 1/2 years of hypoxia during convulsions; necropsy was not performed. Three patients have been genotyped previously and here we report the
We describe a patient with adult-onset neuronal storage disease characterized by myoclonus, cerebellar ataxia, convulsive seizures, cherry-red spots, skeletal dysplasia, mild gargoyle features, inguinal hernia, and angiokeratoma. Cytoplasmic inclusions consistent with lysosomal storage disease were
Fabry disease is an inherited deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase alpha-galactosidase A (alpha GalA) due to mutations in the Gal gene at Xq22. The result is intralysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolipids. In males who carry the mutation (1/40,000), severe multisystem disease develops in
Fucosidosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder caused by a severe deficiency of alpha-L-fucosidase in all tissues. We have conducted a review of fucosidosis, compiling data from published reports and an international questionnaire survey. Seventy-seven patients affected with
We describe 12 subjects of ten unrelated families from the region of Campinas and the southern state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, who presented with juvenile (n = 4) and adult (n = 8) GM1 gangliosidosis. Data includes clinical history, physical examination, and ancillary exam findings. Six subjects
