A new framework for evaluating the health impacts of treatment for Gaucher disease type 1

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2017
Background The Disease Severity Scoring System (DS3) is a validated measure for evaluating Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) severity. We developed a new framework, consisting of health states, transition probabilities between those states, and preferences ...

Clarifying lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]

Trends in Neurosciences, 2011
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a class of metabolic disorders caused by mutations in proteins critical for lysosomal function. Such proteins include lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal integral membrane proteins, and proteins involved in the post-translational modification and trafficking of lysosomal proteins.

Enzyme replacement therapy attenuates disease progression in two Japanese siblings with mucopolysaccharidosis type VI: 10-Year follow up

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2017
Early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI), a progressive, multisystem autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder caused by N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulphatase

Long-term evolution of mucopolysaccharidosis type I in twins treated with enzyme replacement therapy plus hematopoietic stem cells transplantation

Heliyon, 2021
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that have in common the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) within the lysosome.

Astrocytes and lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]

Neuroscience, 2016
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) encompass a wide range of disorders characterized by inborn errors of lysosomal function. The majority of LSDs result from genetic defects in lysosomal enzymes, although some arise from mutations in lysosomal proteins that lack known enzymatic activity.

Overview of Lysosomal Storage Diseases in Kurdistan Region/ Iraq

Advanced Medical Journal, 2023
Background and objectives:The lysosomal lipid storage diseases are diverse disorders each due to an inherited deficiency of a lysosomal hydrolase enzyme leading to the intralysosomal accumulation of the enzyme’s particular substrate; each catabolic step,

Identification of active natural products that induce lysosomal biogenesis by lysosome-based screening and biological evaluation

Heliyon, 2022
Lysosomal biogenesis is an essential adaptive process by which lysosomes exert their function in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Defects in lysosomal enzymes and functions lead to lysosome-related diseases, including lysosomal storage diseases and ...

Neuroinflammatory paradigms in lysosomal storage diseases

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) include approximately 70 distinct disorders that collectively account for 14% of all inherited metabolic diseases. LSDs are caused by mutations in various enzymes/proteins that disrupt lysosomal function, which impairs ...
