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.

Newborn screening for Gaucher disease in Japan

2022-02-18

The prevalence of Gaucher disease (GD) using newborn screening (NBS) was 1 in 77,720 in Japan, which was higher than previously estimated frequency.

MPS

Evaluation of bone health in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis

2022-01-23

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between clinical findings, height and weight standard deviation scores, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) level, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results in patients diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS).

NMDS

Progression to Loss of Ambulation Among Patients with Autosomal Recessive Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy: A Systematic Review

2022-01-01

This review illustrated that patients with early childhood-onset disease tend to have faster progression to loss of ambulation than those with late childhood- or adult-onset disease, particularly in LGMDR9.
