Lysosomal Storage Diseases Flashcards
Lysosomal storage disease is caused by / results in
Deficiency of one of the many lysosomal enzymes –> accumulation of abnormal metabolic products
Lysosomal storage diseases - types and diseases
A. spingolipidoses: 1. Fabry 2. Gaucher 3. Niemann-Pick 4. Tay-Sachs 5. Krabbe 6. Metachromatic leukodystrophy
B. Mucopolysacccharidosrs: 1. Hurler syndrome
2. Hunter syndrome
Sphingolipidoses mode of inheritance
MC?
AR except FABRY disease (XR)
MC: Gaucher disease
Fabry disease pathophysiology and mode of inheritance
a-galactosidase A deficiency
XR. The only sphingolipidoses that is not AR
a-galactosidase A action
Ceramide trihexoside to glucocerebroside
Fabry disease - presentation
early: Triad of episodic peripheral neuropathy, angiokeratomas, hypohidrosis
late: progressive renal failure, cardiovascular disease
Fabry disease accumulation
Ceramide trihexoside
Niemann-pick disease pathophysiology
Sphingomyelinase deficiency
Sphyngomyelinase action
Sphyngomyelin to ceramide
Niemann-Pick /accumulation of
Sphingomyelin
Most common sphingolipidosis
Gaucher disease
Niemman-pick disease findings
- Progressive neurodegeneration
- Cheery red spot on macule
- Foam cells (lipid-laden macrophages)
- Hepatosplenomegaly
Gaucher disease pathophysiology
Glucocerebrosidase (β-glucosidase)
Gaucher disease accumulation
Glucocerebroside
Gaucher findings
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Pancytopenia
- Aseptic necrosis of femur
- Gaucher cell
- Bone crisis
- osteoporosis
Gaucher disease treatment
Recombinant glucocerebrosidase
Gaucher cells
Lipid-laden macrophages resembling crumpled tissue paper
Tay-Sachs disease pathophysiology
Hexosaminidase A deficiency
Bone crisis?
Severe bone pain
