Characterization of a novel exonic deletion in the GALNS gene causing Morquio A syndrome
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA or Morquio A syndrome is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase deficiency. A diagnosis can be provided by the identification of reduced N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase activity as well ...

Trends in Serum Cytokine Expression in Pediatric Skeletal Dysplasia
We identified differences in cytokine expression in multiple types of pediatric skeletal dysplasia as compared to typically growing children. Four of the 12 analyzed cytokines demonstrated elevated expression above control levels in all of the dysplasia cohorts (IL‐12, IL‐13, IP‐10, RANTES) and 2 demonstrated expression below control levels across all ...

Anaesthetic considerations of adults with Morquio's syndrome - a case report
Background The anaesthetic management of patients with Morquio syndrome is complicated by a number of factors including odontoid hypoplasia, atlantoaxial instability, thoracic kyphosis, and deposition of mucopolysaccharides in the soft tissue of the ...

Dose selection for biological enzyme replacement therapy indicated for inborn errors of metabolism
Abstract This paper summarizes key features of the dose‐finding strategies used in the development of 11 approved new molecular entities that are first‐in‐class enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), with a goal to gain insight into the dose exploration approaches to inform efficient dose‐finding in future development of biological products for Inborn ...

Advances in therapies for neurological lysosomal storage disorders
Abstract Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a diverse group of inherited, monogenic diseases caused by functional defects in specific lysosomal proteins. The lysosome is a cellular organelle that plays a critical role in catabolism of waste products and recycling of macromolecules in the body.

Abstract Oligosaccharidoses, sphingolipidoses and mucolipidoses are lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in which defective breakdown of glycan‐side chains of glycosylated proteins and glycolipids leads to the accumulation of incompletely degraded oligosaccharides within lysosomes. In metabolic laboratories, these disorders are commonly diagnosed by thin‐

Anaesthetic implications in a patient with Morquio A syndrome
In patients with Morquio A syndrome, almost all the systems of body are affected and this has a bearing on their anaesthetic management. Herein, we describe the management of child with Morquio A syndrome with atlanto-axial dislocation who underwent ...
