The clinical characteristics distinguishing treatable thiamine transporter-2 deficiency (ThTR2) due to SLC19A3 genetic defects from the other devastating causes of Leigh syndrome are sparse. We report the clinical follow-up after thiamine and biotin supplementation in four children with ThTR2 deficiency presenting with Leigh and biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease phenotypes. We estab...... hiện toàn bộ
New paradigms for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases: targeting the endocannabinoid system as a therapeutic strategyOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases - Tập 16 - Trang 1-6 - 2021
Edward H. Schuchman, Maria D. Ledesma, Calogera M. Simonaro
Over the past three decades the lysosomal storage diseases have served as model for rare disease treatment development. While these efforts have led to considerable success, important challenges remain. For example, no treatments are currently approved for nearly two thirds of all lysosomal diseases, and there is limited impact of the existing drugs on the central nervous system. In addition, the ...... hiện toàn bộ

3MC1 syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intellectual disability, short stature and distinct craniofacial, umbilical, and sacral anomalies. Five mutations in MASP1, encoding lectin complement pathway enzymes MASP-1 and MASP-3, have thus far been reported to cause 3MC1 syndrome. Only one previously reported mutation affects both MASP-1 and MASP-3, while the other mutati...... hiện toàn bộ
The genetic basis of classical galactosaemia in Polish patientsOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases - - 2021

AbstractClassic galactosemia (OMIM #230400) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase gene (GALT; 606999) on chromosome 9p13. Its diagnosis is established by detecting elevated erythrocyte galactose-1-phosphate concentration, reduce...... hiện toàn bộ

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with laronidase (recombinant human α-L-iduronidase, Aldurazyme®) is indicated for non-neurological signs and symptoms of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). The approved laronidase dose regimen is weekly infusions of 0.58mg/kg, however, patients and caregivers may have difficulty complying with the weekly regimen. We examined clinical outcomes, tolerability, comp...... hiện toàn bộ
Bisphosphonate therapy for spinal osteoporosis in Hajdu-Cheney syndrome – new data and literature reviewOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases - Tập 13 - Trang 1-7 - 2018

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) (#OMIM 102500) is a rare, autosomal dominant condition that presents in early childhood. It is caused by mutations in the terminal exon of NOTCH2, which encodes the transmembrane NOTCH2 receptor. This pathway is involved in the coupled processes of bone formation and resorption. The skeletal features of HCS include acro-osteolysis of the digits and osteoporosis commonly...... hiện toàn bộ
