Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic.When it induces hemolysis, it is usually is short-lived. [5]Most people who develop symptoms are male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance, but female carriers can be affected due to unfavorable lyonization or skewed X-inactivation, where random inactivation of an X-chromosome in certain cells creates a population of G6PD-deficient ...
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD), also known as Austin disease, [1] or mucosulfatidosis, [1] is a very rare autosomal recessive [2] lysosomal storage disease [3] caused by a deficiency in multiple sulfatase enzymes, or in formylglycine-generating enzyme, which activates sulfatases. [4]: 502 [5] It is similar to mucopolysaccharidosis. [6]
Pompe disease was the first disease to be identified as an lysosomal storage disease in 1963, with L. Hers reporting the cause as a deficiency of α-glucosidase. Hers also suggested that other diseases, such as the mucopolysaccharidosis, might be due to enzyme deficiencies. [citation needed]
Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive [2] metabolic disorder which was initially described in 1965. [ 3 ] It is a unique glycolytic enzymopathy that is characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia , cardiomyopathy , susceptibility to infections, severe neurological dysfunction, and, in most cases, death in early ...
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.. CPS I deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
Alternative names in medical literature for the disease include: [citation needed] Andersen's triad; Glycogenosis type IV; Glycogen branching enzyme deficiency; Polyglucosan body disease; Amylopectinosis; Mutations in GBE1 can also cause a milder disease in adults that is called adult polyglucosan body disease. [8]
Orotic aciduria (AKA hereditary orotic aciduria) is a disease caused by an enzyme deficiency, resulting in a decreased ability to synthesize pyrimidines.It was the first described enzyme deficiency of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway.
D-Bifunctional protein deficiency is an autosomal recessive peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation disorder. Peroxisomal disorders are usually caused by a combination of peroxisomal assembly defects or by deficiencies of specific peroxisomal enzymes. The peroxisome is an organelle in the cell similar to the lysosome that functions to detoxify the cell.
