Bromocriptine as a Novel Pharmacological Chaperone for Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), leading to lysosomal accumulation of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate. In this study, we identified and characterized bromocriptine (BC) as a novel PC for MPS IVA. BC

Biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II and IV
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS), are the primary biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS); however, little is known about other biomarkers.

Safety and efficacy of laronidase in Chinese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I: a phase IV, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study [PDF]
Background Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase. Laronidase (Aldurazyme®) stands as the sole FDA-approved enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for MPS I to date. In June 2020,

A case study of three patients with mucopolysaccharidoses in Hue Central Hospital
Mucopolysaccharidosis is a group of rare metabolic disorders characterized by a deficiency of enzymes in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans. The incomplete degradation process leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in lysosomes of various ...
