AISF update on the diagnosis and management of adult-onset lysosomal storage diseases with hepatic involvement.

2020

Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders caused by loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding for lysosomal enzymes/proteins. The consequence is a progressive accumulation of substrates in these intracellular organelles, resulting in cellular and tissue damage. The overall incidence is about 1/8000 live births, but is likely underestimated. LSDs are chronic progressive multi-systemic disorders, generally presenting with visceromegaly, and involvement of the central nervous system, eyes, the skeleton, and the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The age at onset and phenotypic expression are highly variable, according to the specific enzymatic d…

Enzyme replacement and gene therapy for mucopolysaccharidoses: current progress and future directions

2015

Introduction: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are lysosomal storage disorders caused by the deficiency of enzymes that are responsible for the stepwise degradation of complex carbohydrates, the glycosaminoglycans. Whereas in the past the treatment of MPS consisted mainly of palliative care, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is now possible for some MPS disorders, and in the future many other therapeutic options will become available.Areas covered: This review, based on personal experience and the currently available literature, will give an overview on the efficacy and limitations of ERT and will discuss new therapeutic approaches, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, substrate reduction therapy, ch…
