Enzyme-replacement therapy in life-threatening hypophosphatasia.
BACKGROUND Hypophosphatasia results from mutations in the gene for the tissue-nonspecific isozyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Inorganic pyrophosphate accumulates extracellularly, leading to rickets or osteomalacia. Severely affected babies often die from respiratory insufficiency due to progressive chest deformity or have persistent bone disease. There is no approved medical therapy. ENB-...
متن کاملPancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Patients with chronic pancreatic insufficiency develop improper digestion due to the lack of digestive pancreatic enzymes. Such patients might complain of diarrhea and multi-nutrient deficiencies. Children with cystic fibrosis are at an increased risk of developing pancreatic insufficiency, while adults can develop chronic pancreatitis due to gallbladder disease or alcohol consumption. Regardle...
متن کاملTransformative therapy in hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disease characterised by hypomineralisation of bones and teeth. The fundamental defect is reduced functional activity of the enzyme tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (usually just termed alkaline phosphatase [ALP] in clinical practice). Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ALPL gene result in the most severe ph...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy in perinatal hypophosphatasia: Case report of a negative outcome and lessons for clinical practice
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a newly approved disease-modifying treatment for hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare metabolic bone disorder. With an orphan drug and ultra-rare disease, sharing information about responders and non-responders is particularly important, as any one centre's familiarity with its use will be limited. Nearly all published data in infants and very young children with l...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in pompe disease
Pompe disease (OMIM 232300) is an AR glycogenosis due to deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-glucosidase (GAA). As a result, glycogen storage occurs in muscles and patients present a wide clinical spectrum ranging from early onset severe cardiomyopathy (EOPD) to adult onset forms (LOPD). Severe loss of GAA activity correlates with early onset and severe phenotypes. Residual enzyme activity...
