Evaluation of tendon and ligament microstructure and mechanical properties in a canine model of mucopolysaccharidosis I

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1409-1419, July 2024.
Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by deficient alpha‐l‐iduronidase activity, leading to abnormal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in cells and tissues. Synovial joint disease is prevalent and significantly reduces patient quality of life.

Lysosomal storage disorders identified in adult population from India: Experience of a tertiary genetic centre and review of literature

open access: yesJIMD Reports, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 85-101, March 2024.
Abstract Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in adults have milder phenotype and variable age at presentation. Several studies have described the phenotype, genotype and treatment outcomes for adult‐onset LSDs like Gaucher, Fabry, Pompe disease and others. We describe the first systematic study on the occurrence of LSDs in an adult population from India.

Adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy delivering combinations of two growth-associated genes to MPS IVA mice

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) is caused by a deficiency of the galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme responsible for the degradation of specific glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Polymorphisms in Tunisian patients with N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase gene deficiency: Implication in Morquio A disease

open access: yesDiagnostic Pathology, 2011
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA or Morquio A syndrome is characterized by the lack of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate-sulfatase and the accumulation of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate in the lysosomes.

Gene therapies for mucopolysaccharidoses

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 135-144, January 2024.
Abstract Current specific treatments for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Both treatments are hampered by several limitations, including lack of efficacy on brain and skeletal manifestations, need for lifelong injections, and high costs.
