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-...
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to: assess the mucosal alterations of the larynx and hypopharynx typical for mucopolysaccharidoses, in a standardised manner; compare the severity in different subtypes of mucopolysaccharidoses; and monitor the effect of an enzyme replacement therapy. METHODS A classification for mucosal alterations of the larynx and hypopharynx was developed and utilised in 55 pati...
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...
Soon after the enzymatic defects in Gaucher disease and in Niemann-Pick disease were discovered, enzyme replacement or enzyme supplementation was proposed as specific treatment for patients with these and related metabolic storage disorders. While relatively straightforward in concept, successful implementation of this approach required many years of intensive effort to bring it to fruition. Pr...
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been approved for 6 lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) worldwide including Japan. These diseases include Gaucher disease (GD), Fabry disease, mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I, II, and VI, and Pompe disease (PD). The efficacy and safety of ERT for LSDs has been confirmed by extensive clinical trials. However, there are still obstacles to successful ERT, suc...
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...
Involvement of the kidneys in Fabry disease ("nephropathy") occurs in male and female individuals. The majority of patients with progressive nephropathy will have significant proteinuria and develop progressive loss of kidney function, leading to ESRD. All too often, treating physicians may ignore "normal" serum creatinine levels or "minimal" proteinuria and fail to assess properly the severity...
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 ...
Modified placental human glucocerebrosidase (alglucerase) and recombinant glucocerebrosidase (imiglucerase) are effective means of treating Type 1 Gaucher's disease. Amelioration of hepatosplenomegaly and of haematological manifestations is usually apparent within 6 months. Bone disease responds more slowly but within several years improvement is evident in most patients. Analysis of a large bo...
