TLDR
Overall, the frequency of MPS varies for each population due to differences in ethnic backgrounds and/or founder effects that affect the birth prevalence of each type of M PS, as seen for other rare genetic diseases.

Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia: What is the link?

TL;DR: It is reported that paternal UPD 15 can rarely lead to co-occurrence of Angelman syndrome and potentially treatable inborn errors of metabolism and in the authors' patient however, the variant identified likely causes asymptomatic organic aciduria.

The gene founder effect of two spontaneous mutations in ethnic Chinese (Taiwanese) CAH patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

TL;DR: The evidence indicates that the haplotype of single-base substitutions of either the IVS2+1G>A or R316X mutation came from the same allele rather than a mutational hot spot, suggesting that the gene founder effect has occurred in the Taiwanese population.

Bioinformatic screening for candidate mutations underlying phenotypic traits in domestic animals

TL;DR: This thesis evaluated the candidate mutations in domesticated animals from NGS and SNP genotype data using bioinformatic analysis, developed a tool DevRO (using deviant read paired orientation) for detection of large structural variants for NGS data from paired-end sequencing or mate pair and highlighted some opportunities and pitfalls of whole genome resequencing using the Ion Proton platform.

Mucopolysaccharidoses and the blood–brain barrier

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the transport mechanisms for the delivery of lysosomal enzymes across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and discuss the several therapeutic approaches, both preclinical and clinical, for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidoses.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Prevalence of lysosomal storage disorders.

TL;DR: There was no significant increase in the rate of either clinical diagnoses or prenatal diagnoses of lysosomal storage disorders during the study period, and as a group, they are relatively common and represent an important health problem in Australia.
