Bromocriptine as a Novel Pharmacological Chaperone for Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A. [PDF]

ACS Med Chem Lett, 2020
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

Genotype and Phenotype Characterization of Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IV-A in Chile. [PDF]

Mol Syndromol, 2023
Introduction: Morquio syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type IV-A (MPS IV-A) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic variants in the GALNS gene, encoding the lysosomal enzyme GalN6S, responsible for glycosaminoglycan keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate degradation.

Long-Term Outcomes of Early Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Mucopolysaccharidosis IV: Clinical Case Studies of Two Siblings [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2020
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is one of the available therapies for mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). This study presents a follow-up of two siblings with MPS IVA (Morquio A disease) that received ERT. Both siblings received weekly intravenous infusions of

Biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II and IV

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
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.

The structure of human GALNS reveals the molecular basis for mucopolysaccharidosis IV A. [PDF]

J Mol Biol, 2012
Lysosomal enzymes catalyze the breakdown of macromolecules in the cell. In humans, loss of activity of a lysosomal enzyme leads to an inherited metabolic defect known as a lysosomal storage disorder. The human lysosomal enzyme galactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS, also known as N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase and GalN6S; E.C.

Safety and efficacy of laronidase in Chinese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I: a phase IV, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
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,
