We report a case of bone marrow necrosis preceding infantile acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Bone marrow necrosis is a rare antemortem event and has been known to be present in many conditions, notably in haematological malignancies like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. This case was a 6-month-old Chinese boy who was referred to Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for further investigati...
Gaucher disease is the first lysosomal disorder for which clinically effective enzyme replacement therapy has been introduced. Lifelong treatment with imiglucerase, the recombinant glucocerebrosidase manufactured by the Genzyme Corporation (MA, USA), is administered intravenously - usually at biweekly intervals. An acute shortage of imiglucerase (to 20% of prior global supply) has occurred as a...
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by decreased levels of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. This deficiency results in a decreased breakdown of this glycosphingolipid glucocerebroside, which accumulates in the lysosomes of the monocyte-macrophage system. It is the most common form of sphingolipidosis. Clinically, the principle signs of Gaucher's disease are...
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to determine whether patients with Gaucher disease had significant dental pathology because of abnormal bone structure, pancytopenia, and coagulation abnormalities. METHODS: Each patient received a complete oral and periodontal examination in addition to a routine hematological evaluation. RESULTS: Gaucher patients had significantly fewer carious lesions tha...
Gaucher disease, the inherited deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, is characterized by the presence of glucosylceramide-laden macrophages resulting from impaired digestion of aged erythrocytes or apoptotic leukocytes. Studies of macrophages from patients with type 1 Gaucher disease with genotypes N370S/N370S, N370S/L444P or N370S/c.84dupG revealed that Gaucher macrophages have impaired ...
Gaucher disease patients are occasionally affected by chronic or fulminant infections. Since Gaucher cells originate from tissue phagocytes, we studied the functional implications of glucocerbroside accumulation on phagocytes in Gaucher disease patients. Circulating monocytes and granulocytes from nine type I Gaucher disease patients, and matched controls, were studied. Evaluation of phagocytic...
Splenectomy can treat conditions characterized by hemolysis or thrombocytopenia caused autoantibodies splenic reticuloendothelial function, as well disorders massive splenomegaly and hypersplenism with cytopenias, such hereditary spherocytosis, transfusion-dependent thalassemia, immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, marginal zone lymph is no longer used for Hodgkin disease stagi...
BACKGROUND Gaucher disease is one of the most common lipid-storage disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 75,000 births. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant glucocerebrosidase is currently considered the first-line treatment choice for patients with symptomatic Gaucher disease type 1. Oral substrate reduction therapy is generally considered a second-line treatment option for adult pati...
Acute infantile spinal muscular atrophy (SMA type I, Werdnig-Hoffmann disease) has generally been accepted as an autosomal recessive disorder. However, several investigators have noted a slightly increased male to female ratio. We describe here a family with two affected male sibs who had a form of acute infantile SMA with congenital bone fractures, whose parents were first cousins. Pedigree an...
