Three Novel Mutations in Iranian Patients with Tay-Sachs Disease
Background: Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), or GM2 gangliosidosis, is a lethal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by a deficiency of beta-hexosaminidase A (HEXA), resulting in lysosomal accumulation of GM2 ganglioside. The aim of this study was to identify the TSD-causing mutations in an Iranian population. Methods: In this study, we examined 31 patients for TSD-causing m...
متن کاملLate-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (Pompe's Disease) with a Novel Mutation: A Malaysian Experience
Pompe's disease (acid maltase deficiency, glycogen storage disease type II) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of lysosomal acid α-1,4-glucosidase, resulting in excessive accumulation of glycogen in the lysosomes and cytoplasm of all tissues, most notably in skeletal muscles. We present a case of adult-onset Pompe's disease with progressive proximal muscles weakness over ...
متن کاملNovel SLC37A4 Mutations in Korean Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Ib
BACKGROUND Molecular techniques are fundamental for establishing an accurate diagnosis and therapeutic approach of glycogen storage diseases (GSDs). We aimed to evaluate SLC37A4 mutation spectrum in Korean GSD Ib patients. METHODS Nine Korean patients from eight unrelated families with GSD Ib were included. SLC37A4 mutations were detected in all patients with direct sequencing using a PCR met...
متن کاملFirst Case of Late-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type II in Russia with a Novel Mutation.
recessive disorder resulting from a defi ciency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA, or acid maltase), includes two main forms – infantileand late-onset glycogen storage disease type II (GSD II). Despite the age of onset and different life prognosis, Pompe disease is a single disease continuum with variable rates of disease progression and different ages of onset. The late-onset form of Pompe disease (L...
متن کاملEvidence of cardiomyocyte necrosis in glycogen storage disease type II.
Adult-onset glycogen storage disease type II (GSD-II), unlike the infantile form, is not normally associated with coexisting cardiovascular pathologies. In infantile onset GSD-II, cardiomyopathy is a common feature, and mutations in the genes for cardiac troponin T and I are likely to be involved. This case report describes a 39-year-old man with no classical risk factors for premature cardiac ...
