CRISPR/nCas9-Edited CD34+ Cells Rescue Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA Fibroblasts Phenotype. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA is a bone-affecting lysosomal storage disease (LSD) caused by impaired degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin 6-sulfate (C6S) due to deficient N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme activity. Previously, we successfully developed and validated a CRISPR/nCas9-based gene

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 ...

Spinal involvement in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome): presentation, diagnosis and management. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA), also known as Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome, is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulphate sulphatase (GALNS). MPS IVA is multisystemic but manifests

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.

Expanding the Spectrum: A Rare Case of Morquio Syndrome With Bronchial Asthma and Seizure Disorder. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This case highlights a rare co‐existence of Morquio syndrome with bronchial asthma and myoclonic seizures, expanding the known clinical spectrum. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary management to address multisystem involvement and describes the challenges of treatment in resource‐limited settings where advanced ...

Tracheal Resection for Critical Airway Obstruction in Morquio A Syndrome
Introduction. The primary cause of death in Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA) is airway obstruction, brought about by an inexorable and pathognomonic multilevel airway tortuosity, buckling, and obstruction. The relative pathophysiological contributions of an inherent cartilage processing defect versus a mismatch in longitudinal ...
