Phenotype assessment for neurodegenerative murine models with ataxia and application to Niemann–Pick disease, type C1

Biology Open, 2022
Identifying meaningful predictors of therapeutic efficacy from preclinical studies is challenging. However, clinical manifestations occurring in both patients and mammalian models offer significant translational value.

The Biology of Lysosomes: From Order to Disorder

Biomedicines, 2023
Since its discovery in 1955, the understanding of the lysosome has continuously increased. Once considered a mere waste removal system, the lysosome is now recognised as a highly crucial cellular component for signalling and energy metabolism.

Carnitine is a pharmacological allosteric chaperone of the human lysosomal α-glucosidase

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Pompe disease is an inherited metabolic disorder due to the deficiency of the lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA). The only approved treatment is enzyme replacement therapy with the recombinant enzyme (rhGAA).

The N370S/R496H genotype in type 1 Gaucher disease – Natural history and implications for pre symptomatic diagnosis and counseling

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2020
Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) patients with the N370S/R496H (N409S/R535H) genotype are increasingly identified through carrier and newborn screening panels. However, limited information is available on the phenotype associated with this genotype. Here, we

Osteonecrosis in Gaucher disease in the era of multiple therapies: Biomarker set for risk stratification from a tertiary referral center

eLife, 2023
Background: A salutary effect of treatments for Gaucher disease (GD) has been a reduction in the incidence of avascular osteonecrosis (AVN). However, there are reports of AVN in patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) , and it is not known ...

Novel Mutation in the Feline GAA Gene in a Cat with Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (Pompe Disease)

Animals, 2023
Glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease: PD) is an autosomal recessively inherited fatal genetic disorder that results from the deficiency of a glycogen hydrolyzing enzyme, acid α-glucosidase encoded by the GAA gene.

Lysosomal membrane integrity in fibroblasts derived from patients with Gaucher disease

Cell Structure and Function, 2023
Gaucher disease (GD) is a recessively inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). This deficiency results in the accumulation of its substrate, glucosylceramide (GlcCer), within lysosomes ...
