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.

2022-10-03

High-suspicion targeted screening of Gaucher disease in patients with splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia based on a dry blood spot enzyme assay is high yielding, effective strategy in identifying Gaucher disease patients.

FABRY

Functional characterization of novel variants found in patients with suspected Fabry disease

2022-09-01

This paper presents four novel variants found in patients with suspicion of Fabry disease (FD).

GAUCHER

Hemochromatosis Mimicked Gaucher Disease: Role of Hyperferritinemia in Evaluation of a Clinical Case

2022-06-15

Misdiagnosis and diagnostic delay in metabolic diseases could cause irreversible organ damage and delay the start of specific therapy for these patients.

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.
