Enzyme and Immunodeficiencies Flashcards
X-linked immunodeficiencies
- Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
- Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia
- Chronic Granulomatous disease
- Hyper IgM syndrome (no CD ligand)
Adenosine Deaminase deficiency
SCID
Absent HGPRT
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
- defective purine salvage
- X-linked recessive
Defective nucleotide excision repair leads to what disorder
Xeroderma pigmentosum
- can’t repair pyrimidine dimers
- ssDNA repair failure
What DNA repair mechanism is defective in Hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer
Mismatch repair
-failure to recognize and remove mismatched nucleotides in newly synthesized DNA strand
What DNA repair mechanism is defective in Ataxia Telangiectasia
Nonhomologous end joining
-failure to bring ends of DNA fragments together to repair double stranded breaks
Anti-Smith antibodies
Antibodies to spliceosomal snRPs
-SLE
Anti-U1 RNP antibodies
Mixed connective tissue disease
Defect in phosphotransferase
I-cell disease: inclusion cell disease
-inherited lysosomal storage disorder d/t failure of Golgi to phosphorylate mannose residues (decr. M6P) so can’t traffic proteins to lysosomes so they get secreted extraceullarly
The clinical features of I cell disease are similar to what?
Mucopolysaccharidoses
-Hunters, Hurlers
Coarse facial features, clouded corneas, restricted joint movement, high plasma levels of lysosomal enzymes, mental retardation may be present
I cell disease
Pathogenic states with Cytoplasmic inclusions
- Lysosomal storage disease
- I-cell disease
- Mucopolysaccharidoses
- Chediak-Higashi syndrome
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- CMV
- Rabies virus
- Herpes virus
Defective a-chain of IV collagen
Alport syndrome
Lack of hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues of pre-procollagen
Scurvy d/t Vitamin C deficiency
-Vitamin C is necessary for hydroxylation
Deficient formation of procollagen
Osteogenesis imperfecta
- deficient formation of triple helix of procollagen
- decr. production of normal type I collagen
Defective formation of collagen fibrils d/t inability to form cross-linkages (lysine-hydroxylysine)
Ehlers-Danlos
Decr. activity of lysyl oxidase is caused by
Impaired copper absorption and transport
-Menkes disease: brittle, kinky hair, growth retardation, hypotonia; d/t deficient formation of lysine-hydroxylysine cross linkages

Prader-Willi Syndrome
Maternal imprinting: Paternal gene is deleted/mutated and maternal gene is silent; PATERNAL gene problem
-hyperphagia, obesity, intellectual disability, hypogonadism, hypotonia
Angelman Syndrome
Paternal imprinting: Maternal gene is deleted/ mutated and paternal gene is silent; MATERNAL gene problem
-inappropriate laughter, seizures, ataxia, severe intellectual disability
