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.

MELAS syndrome: Clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and treatment options.

TL;DR: There is no specific consensus approach for treating MELAS syndrome, but unblinded studies showed that l-arginine therapy improves stroke-like episode symptoms and decreases the frequency and severity of these episodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of Niemann-Pick disease type C: an update.

TL;DR: Points of consensus among experts in the diagnosis and treatment of NP-C are reported based on a follow-up meeting in Paris, France in September 2011, providing further information on detection/diagnostic methods, potential new methods of monitoring disease progression, and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The in-depth evaluation of suspected mitochondrial disease.

TL;DR: The aim of this work is to facilitate the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease by geneticists, neurologists, and other metabolic specialists who face the challenge of evaluating patients of all ages with suspected mitochondrial disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-reactive immunologic material status affects treatment outcomes in Pompe disease infants.

TL;DR: The effect of CRIM status on outcome appears to be mediated by antibody responses to the exogenous protein, which predicted reduced overall survival and invasive ventilator-free survival and poorer clinical outcomes in infants with Pompe disease treated with rhGAA.

Sanfilippo syndrome type D: identification of the first mutation in the N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulphatase gene

TL;DR: The patient was found to be homozygous for a single base pair deletion (c1169delA), which will cause a frameshift and premature termination of the protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sanfilippo syndrome type D: natural history and identification of 3 novel mutations in the GNS Gene.

TL;DR: The course of the disease was characteristic of MPS-IIID in all patients, although survival may be longer than was previously reported, and there is no obvious genotype-phenotype correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective screening for inborn errors of metabolism and secondary methylmalonic aciduria in pregnancy at high risk district of neural tube defects: a human metabolome study by GC-MS in China.

TL;DR: This metabolome research by UP-GC-MS provides valuable epidemiological information that helps to understand the prevalence and the possible intervention strategy of NTDs and IEMs, especially in Chinese population.
Journal ArticleDOI

A case-control study of maternal nutrition and neural tube defects in Northern Ireland

TL;DR: The findings are consistent with the findings of other research on NTD and the metabolism of folate and vitamin B12 and the need for a clearer focus on nutrition in nursing and midwifery education is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II in females and response to enzyme replacement therapy.

TL;DR: Although genotype–phenotype correlation in MPS II is difficult, gene deletions seem to correlate with more severe clinical manifestation of the disease.
