Gaucher-like Cells in Thalassemia Intermedia: Is It a Challenge?
We describe two cases of thalassemia intermedia (TI) patients with the presence of Gaucher-like cells in hematopoietic tissue biopsies, raising diagnostic dilemmas. The first is a 56-year-old female with bone lesions, splenomegaly, hypochromic microcytic

Engineering of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase for production of highly phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes for enzyme replacement therapy [PDF]
Several lysosomal enzymes currently used for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with lysosomal storage diseases contain very low levels of mannose 6-phosphate, limiting their uptake via mannose 6-phosphate receptors on the surface of the deficient ...

Glucosylsphingosine Is a Highly Sensitive and Specific Biomarker for Primary Diagnostic and Follow-Up Monitoring in Gaucher Disease in a Non-Jewish, Caucasian Cohort of Gaucher Disease Patients [PDF]
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). Based on a deficient β-glucocerebrosidase it leads to an accumulation of glucosylceramide. Standard diagnostic procedures include measurement of enzyme activity, genetic testing as

Cytosolic Glucosylceramide regulates endolysosomal function in Niemann-Pick type C disease [PDF]
A new paradigm for Niemann-Pick C disease is presented where lysosomal storage leads to a deficit in cytoplasmic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) where it performs important functions.

Ambroxol improves lysosomal biochemistry in glucocerebrosidase mutation-linked Parkinson disease cells. [PDF]
Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene, which encodes the lysosomal hydrolase glucosylceramidase. Patients with Gaucher disease and heterozygous glucocerebrosidase mutation carriers are at increased risk of developing ...
