Epidemiology of mucopolysaccharidoses

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.

Impact of the Timing of Enzyme Replacement Therapy Initiation and Cognitive Impairment Status on Outcomes for Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) in the United States: A Retrospective Chart Review

TL;DR: The findings reinforce previous recommendations for ERT to be initiated early to maximally benefit patients with MPS II, especially those younger than 3 years old.

Leukocyte Imbalances in Mucopolysaccharidoses Patients

TL;DR: In this paper , different leukocyte populations in MPS II and VI disease patients were studied, showing that MPS VI patients have a higher frequency of naïve T cells and a lower memory T cell frequency than control subjects.

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism

TL;DR: LIMP-2 was shown to be implicated in the delivery of beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) to the lysosomes, whereas sortilin has been suggested to be a multifunctional receptor capable of binding several different ligands, including neurotensin and receptor- associated protein (RAP).

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism

TL;DR: A major step toward establishing that fructose metabolism in mice mimics that of humans is reported by investigating the consequences of targeting the mouse aldolase-B gene (Aldo2) for deletion in mice (A Aldo2 �/� ).

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.

Prevention of the First Occurrence of Neural-Tube Defects by Periconceptional Vitamin Supplementation

TL;DR: A randomized, controlled trial of periconceptional multivitamin supplementation to test the efficacy of this treatment in reducing the incidence of a first occurrence of neural-tube defects.

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.
