FABRY

Identification of c.146G > A mutation in a Fabry patient and its correction by customized Cas9 base editors in vitro

2025-01-22

This study identifies a significant mutation (c.146G>A) in exon 1 of the GLA gene in a female Fabry disease patient. Bioinformatic predictions and biochemical analyses revealed that this variant significantly reduced the stability and activity of α-galactosidase A, confirming its pathogenicity. Using an adenine base-editing technique, the mutation was corrected in vitro. The study not only identified a novel variant but also demonstrated the potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

GAUCHER DISEASE

Machine Learning-Driven Biomarker Discovery for Skeletal Complications in Type 1 Gaucher Disease Patients

2024-08-06

This study aims to identify protein biomarkers for the early detection of skeletal complications in patients with Type 1 Gaucher disease using machine learning. The research identified 18 potential biomarkers, emphasizing that some of these can be measured through blood tests. The goal is to develop new tools for clinical decision support systems using machine learning and systems biology techniques.

FABRY

Expert opinion on the recognition, diagnosis and management of children and adults with Fabry disease: A multidisciplinary Turkey perspective

2022-03-01

This consensus statement aimed to identify areas of consensus on conceptual, clinical and therapeutic aspects of Fabry disease (FD) and to provide guidance to healthcare providers on best practice in the management of pediatric and adult patients with FD.

MPS

Understanding disease symptoms and impacts and producing qualitatively-derived severity stages for MPS IIIA: A mixed methods approach

2022-02-22

This study demonstrates the unique potential of mixed methods research in rare diseases to address some of the current limitations of more traditional quantitative approaches by providing an individualized, detailed understanding of the patient experience.

FABRY

Cognitive dysfunction and white matter hyperintensities in Fabry disease

2022-01-07

Neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation should be routinely offered to patients with Fabry Disease.

ALFA-MANNOSIDOZ

Recognition of alpha-mannosidosis in paediatric and adult patients: Presentation of a diagnostic algorithm from an international working group

2019-04-01

With the aim of developing a diagnostic algorithm for alpha-mannosidosis an international panel of experts met to reach a consensus by applying the nominal group technique.

ASMD

Disease manifestations and burden of illness in patients with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD)

2017-02-23

While knowledge about ASMD is evolving, more evidence about ASMD and the natural history across the disease spectrum is needed, to improve disease recognition, timely diagnosis and appropriate disease management.
