TLDR
All 112 liver biopsied patients had the characteristic pathology, which is progressive, and includes microvesicular steatosis, which leads to fibrosis, micronodular cirrhosis, and ultimately to liver failure.

Combined Hepatocellular-Cholangiocarcinoma in a Patient With Cirrhosis Due to Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease.

TL;DR: The case of a patient who presented a combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma as a complication of cirrhosis due to cholesteryl ester storage disease, a complication not previously reported in this group of patients is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency, a rare pathology

TL;DR: Deficit of this enzyme results in decreased hydrolysis and accumulation of cholesterol and triglyceride esters in liver lysosomes, blood vessels, the spleen, adrenal glands, hematopoietic system, lymph nodes and gastrointestinal tract, and it is associated with reduced generation of free cholesterol and free fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lysosomal acid lipase does not have a propeptide and should not be considered being a proprotein.

TL;DR: The data, in addition to bioinformatics analyses, indicate that LAL is not a proprotein, and it is possible that the previously reported cleavage at Lys76↓ could have resulted from exposure to proteolytic enzymes during the multistep purification procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency: A rare inherited dyslipidemia but potential ubiquitous factor in the development of atherosclerosis and fatty liver disease

TL;DR: The need to further interrogate the pathophysiological impact and cell type-specific role of enhancing LAL activity as a novel treatment strategy to reduce the development and induce the regression of ischemic cardiovascular disease and fatty liver is highlighted.

Childhood Liver Disease and Metabolic Disorders

TL;DR: The knowledge base of the variety of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) conditions has now expanded beyond three types to six (if mutation of the MYO5D gene is nominally included as type 6), and the added types include PFIC-4 with mutations of the tight junction protein 2 gene, resulting in diminished expression of claudin-1 on bile canaliculi.

The Human Gene Mutation Database: 2008 update

TL;DR: Although originally established for the scientific study of mutational mechanisms in human genes, HGMD has since acquired a much broader utility for researchers, physicians, clinicians and genetic counselors as well as for companies specializing in biopharmaceuticals, bioinformatics and personalized genomics.

Drug-induced toxicity on mitochondria and lipid metabolism: Mechanistic diversity and deleterious consequences for the liver

TL;DR: In obese and diabetic patients, some drugs may induce acute liver injury more frequently while others may worsen the pre-existent steatosis (or steatohepatitis), which is characterized not only by lipid accumulation but also by necroinflammation and fibrosis.
