Enzyme 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...
متن کاملImmune modulation in Pompe disease treated with enzyme replacement therapy.
Pompe disease is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by massive glycogen deposition in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle secondary to the deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA) [1]. Once rapidly fatal, it has become a treatable condition since the development of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase α (recombinant human GAA [rhGAA], Myozyme/Lumizyme Genzyme Corp. Cambridge...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy and fatigue in adults with Pompe disease
BACKGROUND Pompe disease is a hereditary metabolic myopathy, for which enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been available since 2006. We investigated whether ERT reduces fatigue in adult patients with Pompe disease. METHODS In this prospective international observational survey, we used the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) to measure fatigue. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data ...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is the most common lysosomal storage disease, and the first lysosomal storage disease for which a specific therapy has been developed. Enzyme replacement therapy, with glucocerebrosidase purified from human placentae, was introduced in 1991. Recombinant human glucocerebrosidase, produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells in tissue culture, became available in 1994 and has replaced ...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Anderson-Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked defect of glycosphingolipid metabolism. Progressive renal insufficiency is a major source of morbidity, additional complications result from cardio- and cerebro-vascular involvement. Survival is reduced among affected males and symptomatic female carriers. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of enzyme replacement therapy compare...
