Glucocerebrosidase
Glucocerebroside
What is the enzyme that is deficient, and what is the substance the is built up with: Niemann-Pick disease

What is the classic triad for fabry’s disease?
- Episodic peripheral neuropathy
- Angiokeratomas
- Hypohidrosis
What are the classic s/sx of Gaucher’s disease?
- HSM
- Pancytopenia
- Osteoporosis
- (Bone marrow issues)
What are the classic s/sx of Niemann-Pick’s disease? (3)
- Progressive neurodegeneration
- HSM
- Cherry red spot on the macula
What are the classic s/sx of tay-Sach’s disease?
- Progressive neurodegeneration
- Cherry red spot on macula
- Lysosomes with onion skin
Both Tay-Sach’s disease and Niemann-Pick’s disease present with neurodegeneration, and a cherry red spot on the macula. How can you differentiate the two?
NP does not have HSM, and has onion skin macrophages
TS = HSM + Lipid laden macrophage

Arylsulfatase A
Cerebro Sulfate
