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 (

Cholesterol pathways affected by small molecules that decrease sterol levels in Niemann-Pick type C mutant cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a genetically inherited multi-lipid storage disorder with impaired efflux of cholesterol from lysosomal storage organelles.The effect of screen-selected cholesterol lowering compounds on the major sterol pathways was ...

Treatment of lysosomal storage disorders

BMJ, 2003
Increased awareness and diagnosis are important as treatment is now feasible The lysosomal storage disorders have hitherto justifiably been consigned to the small print sections of textbooks of biochemistry and internal medicine and optional modules of the undergraduate medical curriculum.

Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency: Report of Five Cases across the Age Spectrum

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2018
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the LIPA gene that leads to premature organ damage and mortality.

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

Exacerbating and reversing lysosomal storage diseases: from yeast to humans [PDF]

, 2017
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) arise from monogenic deficiencies in lysosomal proteins and pathways and are characterized by a tissue-wide accumulation of a vast variety of macromolecules, normally specific to each genetic lesion.

Impairment of chaperone‐mediated autophagy leads to selective lysosomal degradation defects in the lysosomal storage disease cystinosis

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
Metabolite accumulation in lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) results in impaired cell function and multi‐systemic disease. Although substrate reduction and lysosomal overload‐decreasing therapies can ameliorate disease progression, the significance of ...

Lysosomal Storage Diseases-Regulating Neurodegeneration

, 2015
Autophagy is a complex pathway regulated by numerous signaling events that recycles macromolecules and can be perturbed in lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). The concept of LSDs, which are characterized by aberrant, excessive storage of cellular material

Mitochondria and quality control defects in a mouse model of Gaucher Disease-links to Parkinson's Disease [PDF]

, 2013
Mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (gba) gene cause Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal storage disorder, and increase susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD).

The Fabry disease-associated lipid Lyso-Gb3 enhances voltage-gated calcium currents in sensory neurons and causes pain [PDF]

, 2015
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterised by accumulation of glycosphingolipids, and accompanied by clinical manifestations, such as cardiac disorders, renal failure, pain and peripheral neuropathy.
