SÜKRAZ-IZOMALTAZ EKSIKLIĞI

Prevalence of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency in Turkey may be much higher than the estimates

2023-01-01

This clinical study revealed that sucrase-isomaltase deficiency may have been underdiagnosed in patients with chronic diarrhea in Turkey.

FABRY

Late-onset Fabry disease due to a new (p.Pro380Leu) pathogenic variant of GLA Gene

2022-12-01

p.Pro380Leu novel pathogenic variant of GLA gene should be considered as pathogenic and associated with a late-onset variant of Fabry disease with a predominant neurological phenotype.

XLH

Bone Deformities and Kidney Failure: Coincidence of PHEX-Related Hypophosphatemic Rickets and m.3243A>G Mitochondrial Disease

2022-12-01

This article reports a rare case of coexistence of the two genetic conditions, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and m.3243A>G mitochondrial disease.

PHEX

A Novel Synonymous Variant of PHEX in a Patient with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia

2022-12-01

CLN2

Visual perception and macular integrity in non-classical CLN2 disease

2022-11-01

The aim of the study was to provide longitudinal ophthalmic data of CLN2 patients with confirmed genetic mutation and non-classical disease course, marked by later onset, protracted progression and prolonged life span.

CSID

Severe pathogenic variants of intestinal sucrase-isomaltase interact avidly with the wild type enzyme and negatively impact its function and trafficking

2022-11-01

This study provides novel insights into the potential role of heterozygosity in the pathophysiology of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency and irritable bowel syndrome.

POMPE

Newborn screening for Pompe disease in Italy: Long-term results and future challenges

2022-10-22

This study presents the results from 7 years of newborn screening (NBS) for Pompe disease (PD) and the management of infantile-onset (IOPD) and late-onset (LOPD) patients.

CTX

Progressive ataxia of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with a rare c.255+1G>T splice site mutation: A case report

2022-10-16

An Overview of Molecular Mechanisms in Fabry Disease Biomolecules.

2022-10-12

This review provides an overview of the main features of FD, focusing on its molecular mechanism and the role of biomarkers.

FABRY

Methylome Profiling in Fabry Disease in Clinical Practice: A Proof of Concept

2022-10-11

The methylation state of specific genes can potentially identify Fabry patients and possibly predict organ involvement and disease evolution.

ENZIM REPLASMAN TEDAVISI

Targeted Screening for Gaucher Disease in High Suspicion Patients and Clinical Profile of Screen Positives in a Large Pediatric Multispecialty Hospital

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.

POMPE
