Redefining GBA gene structure unveils the ability of Cap-independent, IRES-dependent gene regulation

Communications Biology, 2022
The cell type-specific expression of the glucocerebrosidase gene, associated with the lysosomal storage disorder called Gaucher disease, is linked to cis- and trans-regulatory transcriptional and translational mechanisms.

A mouse model for fucosidosis recapitulates storage pathology and neurological features of the milder form of the human disease

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the inherited deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase α-L-fucosidase, which leads to an impaired degradation of fucosylated glycoconjugates.

Enzyme replacement therapy in type 1 Gaucher disease and a review of the literature

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2010
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder. Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase results in the intracellular accumulation of undegraded substrates in the spleen, liver and bone marrow. Enzyme replacement therapy (

Development of a fluorometric microtiter plate based enzyme assay for MPS IVA (Morquio type A) using dried blood spots

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA or Morquio type-A disease is a hereditary lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS). The disease is caused by lysosomal accumulation of
