MPS

Clinical characteristics and genotypes of 201 patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II in China: A retrospective, observational study

2023-06-01

This study aimed to characterize the clinical characteristics and genotypes of the largest cohort of Chinese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II).

ASMD

SMPD1 expression profile and mutation landscape help decipher genotype-phenotype association and precision diagnosis for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

2023-03-13

This study is the first to elucidate the effects of SMPD1 mutation on cell types and at the tissue level, which provides new insights into the genotype-phenotype association and can help in the precise diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD).

FABRY

X-chromosomal inactivation patterns in women with Fabry disease

2022-09-10

This study investigates X-chromosomal inactivation patterns (XCI) as a potential determinant of symptom severity in women with Fabry disease (FD).

FABRY

The Benefits of Family Screening in Rare Diseases: Genetic Testing Reveals 165 New Cases of Fabry Disease among At-Risk Family Members of 83 Index Patients

2022-09-01

This is the first study to have described family screening in a large Russian cohort of patients with FD and chronic kidney disease.

FABRY

Gene variants of unknown significance in Fabry disease: Clinical characteristics of c.376A>G (p.Ser126Gly)

2022-05-01

Precise clinical evaluation in individuals diagnosed with genetic variations of unknown significance should be performed to distinguish common symptoms broadly prevalent in the general population from those secondary to Fabry disease.

MPS

Investigation of GALNS variants and genotype-phenotype correlations in a large cohort of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA

2022-02-25

Based on the data this study reported, a systematic flowchart was generated correlating the GALNS variants to assist in phenotype prediction and classification of patients with MPS IVA.

POMPE

Genotype-phenotype correlation of 17 cases of Pompe disease in Spanish patients and identification of 4 novel GAA variants

2021-05-21

The aim of this study was to identify genetic variations and clinical features in Spanish subjects to establish genotype-phenotype correlation.

NIEMANN-PICK

Clinical, biochemical, and genotype-phenotype correlations of 118 patients with Niemann-Pick disease Types A/B

2021-05-05

This study contributes to the understanding of the natural history of NPA/B and assists in the development of efficacious treatments for patients afflicted with this devastating lysosomal storage disorder.

FABRY

The benefits and challenges of family genetic testing in rare genetic diseases—lessons from Fabry disease

2021-04-09

In this review, the problems faced in the family genetic screening of patients affected with rare genetic diseases are highlighted by an international group of experts of Fabry disease. These problems include related costs, low awareness of its importance, cultural and societal issues, educational levels of the population, national geography and infrastructure, and a lack of medical geneticists.

CTX

Familial variability of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis lacking typical biochemical findings

2021-01-08

In this study reports two siblings who have cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). The atypical biochemical presentation of these cases emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive investigation of patients with symptomatology consistent with CTX.

FABRY

A consensus classification system by a multispecialty Fabry disease genotype-phenotype workgroup

2020-08-01

This study aimed to find a consensus phenotypic classification for previously unclassified GLA variants by using the GLA-specific fabry-database.org database. Clinical pathogenicity associated with a particular GLA variant defined in affected males appears to have predictive value and also generally correlates with risk for affected females. The newly developed classifications can aid in the clinical management of Fabry patients who have these variants.

POMPE

Newborn Screening for Pompe Disease

2020-04-05

Newborn screening (NBS) is the most effective method for detecting and treating Pompe Disease (PD) early on. On the other hand, current NBS systems are unable to distinguish between pseudodeficiency and cases with PD or potential PD. Therefore, a combination of GAA gene analysis with NBS is needed for definitive PD diagnoses.
