MPS

A Novel Missense Mutation (c.965C>T, p.Ala322Val) in the GALNS Gene: A Severe MPS IVA Case

2025-02-01

A newly identified c.965C>T (p.Ala322Val) missense mutation in the GALNS gene has been associated with the severe form of Morquio syndrome (MPS IVA); the diagnosis was confirmed in a 3-year-old patient with skeletal abnormalities through whole exome sequencing, and early enzyme replacement therapy has been recommended to slow disease progression.

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

Novel Golden Lipid Nanoparticles with Small Interference Ribonucleic Acid for Substrate Reduction Therapy in Fabry Disease

2023-07-12

The results of this study highlight the potential of the new siRNA-golden LNP system as a promising nanomedicine to address Fabry disease (FD) by specific SRT.

FABRY

Dysregulated DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of Fabry disease

2022-09-26

This study provides evidence that α-galactosidase A deficiency and glycosphingolipid storage may affect DNA methylation homeostasis and highlights the importance of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of Fabry disease.

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

Prediction of Regulatory SNPs in Putative Minor Genes of the Neuro-Cardiovascular Variant in Fabry Reveals Insights into Autophagy/Apoptosis and Fibrosis

2022-08-30

This study analyses 110 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the proximal promoter of 14 genes that could modify the phenotype of Fabry disease (FD).

FABRY

The potential consequences of bidirectional promoter methylation on GLA and HNRNPH2 expression in Fabry disease phenotypes in a family of patients carrying a GLA deletion variant

2022-06-24

According to the data obtained in this study, the DNA methylation of GLA-HNRNPH2 BDP may serve a role in diagnosing and treating Fabry disease (FD).

FABRY

Twenty years of the Fabry Outcome Survey (FOS): Insights, achievements, and lessons learned from a global patient registry

2022-06-20

This study reviews the history of the Fabry Outcome Survey (FOS) and the analyses and publications disseminated from the registry, and discusses the contributions FOS studies have made in understanding Fabry Disease (FD).

XLH

Function of PHEX mutations p.Glu145* and p.Trp749Arg in families with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets by the negative regulation mechanism on FGF23 promoter transcription

2022-06-02

This study verified the pathogenicity of the two variants and revealed the possible regulatory mechanism between PHEX and FGF23.

CTX

A case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with brain and spinal involvement without tendon xanthomas: Identification of a novel mutation of the CYP27A1 gene

2022-05-01

This case report emphasizes the necessity of keeping a high index of suspicion as the key to a timely diagnosis of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), which has a clinical diversity and, if detected early, the favorable treatment response.

NMDS

Novel Variants of ANO5 in Two Patients With Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy: Case Report

2022-04-08

The results of this study broaden the genotypic range of ANO5 disease and support the diagnostic value of next-generation sequencing in individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy.
