October is the global awareness month of Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD), a fatal inherited metabolic disorder. Hence, I am sharing a presentation I made on NPD in 2013 in this month of 2016.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose across the plasma membrane, a process known as facilitated diffusion. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life, these transporters are present in all phyla.
Definition:
Many childhood conditions are caused by gene mutations that encode specific proteins. These mutations can result in the alteration of primary protein structure or the amount of protein synthesized.
The functional ability of protein, whether it is an enzyme, receptors, transport vehicle, membrane, or structural element, may be relatively or seriously compromised.
These hereditary biochemical disorders are collectively termed as ‘’Inborn errors of metabolism’’
A lysosomal storage disease caused by acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin (SM) to ceramide and phosphocholine.

Gaucher disease is an inherited disorder that
affects many of the body's organs and tissues. The signs and symptoms of this
condition vary widely among affected individuals. Researchers have described
several types of Gaucher disease based on their characteristic features.
Type 1 Gaucher disease is the most common
form of this condition. Type 1 is also called non-neuronopathic Gaucher disease
because the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) are usually not
affected. The features of this condition range from mild to severe and may
appear anytime from childhood to adulthood. Major signs and symptoms include
enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), a low number of red
blood cells (anemia), easy bruising caused by a decrease in blood platelets
(thrombocytopenia), lung disease, and bone abnormalities such as bone pain,
fractures, and arthritis.
Types 2 and 3 Gaucher disease are known as
neuronopathic forms of the disorder because they are characterized by problems
that affect the central nervous system. In addition to the signs and symptoms
described above, these conditions can cause abnormal eye movements, seizures,
and brain damage. Type 2 Gaucher disease usually causes life-threatening
medical problems beginning in infancy. Type 3 Gaucher disease also affects the
nervous system, but tends to progress more slowly than type 2.
The most severe type of Gaucher disease is
called the perinatal lethal form. This condition causes severe or
life-threatening complications starting before birth or in infancy. Features of
the perinatal lethal form can include extensive swelling caused by fluid
accumulation before birth (hydrops fetalis); dry, scaly skin (ichthyosis) or
other skin abnormalities; hepatosplenomegaly; distinctive facial features; and
serious neurological problems. As its name indicates, most infants with the
perinatal lethal form of Gaucher disease survive for only a few days after
birth.
Another form of Gaucher disease is known as
the cardiovascular type because it primarily affects the heart, causing the
heart valves to harden (calcify). People with the cardiovascular form of
Gaucher disease may also have eye abnormalities, bone disease, and mild
enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly).

LIPID STORAGE DISEASES MUHAMMAD MUSTANSAR FJMC LAHORE
1.
2. Introduction
Lipid storage diseases (Lipidoses) are a
group of diseases that arise from a deficiency
of a specific lysosomal hydrolase with a
resulting accumulation of the enzyme’s
specific substrate.
They are examples of lysosomal storage
diseases.
The substrates share the ceramide molecule.
Clinical symptoms of these disorders are
mainly from accumulation of the substrates in
various body organ-systems
3. Genetics
All are inherited in autosomal recessive
mendelian fashion except for the X-
linked Fabry’s disease.
5. Tay Sach Disease: Biomedical defect
This is an inborn error of metabolism
due to failure of degradation of
gangliosides.
The enzyme hexosaminidase A
is deficient.
composed of an α and β subunits
Mutation in α subunit,15q23
6. Tay Sach disease: Inheritance
It is inherited as an autosomal recessive
traits, with a predilection in the Ashkenazi
Jewish population, where the carrier
frequency is about 1/25.
7. Tay Sach Disease: Clinical Symptoms and classification
Tay-Sachs disease is classified in variant forms, based on
the time of onset of neurological symptoms.
Infantile TSD
Birth: normal but develop
Loss of motor skills
Increased startle reaction
Macullar pallor and retinal cherry red spot
5-6 months
Decreased eye contact
Hyperacusis
Progressive development of idiocy and blindness
are diagnostic of this disease and they are due to wide
spread injury to ganglion cells, in brain and retina.
8. Tay Sach Disease: Clinical
symptoms and Classication
Juvenile TSD
extremely rare
presents itself in children between 2 - 10 years
develop cognitive,
motor, speech difficulties (dysarthria),
swallowing difficulties (dysphagia),
unsteadiness of gait (ataxia),
and spasticity.
Patients with Juvenile TSD usually
die between 5–15 years.
10. Diagnosis of Tay-Sach disease
is usually suspected in an infant with neurologic features and a cherry-red spot.
Enzymatic Assays-Definitive diagnosis is by determination of the level of ß-
hexosaminidase A in isolated blood leukocytes.
Fine needle Aspiration Cytology of brain tissue – can show the degree of
neuronal degeneration. FNAC has a great potential for diagnosis and follow-up of
Tay-Sachs disease
Prenatal screening-Future at-risk pregnancies for both disorders can be
monitored by prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.
11. No cure for this disease.
Symptomatic treatment is
given.
Enzyme replacement
therapy and Gene therapy
are under trial.
13. Gaucher disease :Biochemical defect
results
from deficient activity of Lysosomal
Hydrolase, β- Glucocerebrosidase.
enzyme defect results in accumulation of
undegraded glycolipid in the form of Glucosyl
ceramide in the cells of reticuloendothelial
system.
β-
Glucocerebrosidase
14. There are three clinical subtypes
1)Type-1- (from early childhood- adulthood)
easy bruising due to thrombocytopenia, chronic fatigue
due to anemia, hepatomegaly
Progressive enlargement of spleen
Clinical bone involvement in the form of bone pains, or
pathological fractures.
15. Enzyme activity testing:
A finding of less than 15%
of mean normal activity is diagnostic.
Genotype testing:
Molecular diagnosis can be helpful,
Especially in Ashkenazi patients.
Complete blood count:
to assess the degree of cytopenia.
Liver function enzyme testing:
the presence of jaundice or impaired
hepatocellular synthetic function
16. Ultrasonography
Hip MRI may be
useful in
revealing early
avascular
necrosis.
Skeletal
radiography Liver biopsy
17. Treatment
Enzyme replacement therapy(ERT)
by recombinant β- Glucocerebrosidase
is currently done.
Surgical Care:
Partial and total Splenectomy was once advocated in the
treatment of patients with Gaucher disease.
Bone marrow transplant is also helpful.
Gene replacement is the permanent cure.
18. Niemann Pick disease: clinical
significance
Occurs due to impaired degradation of shingomyelins.
There is deficiency of sphingomyelinase enzyme.
Due to non degradation, there is accumulation of
shingomyelin in liver, spleen, bone marrow, and brain
19. Niemann Pick disease:
Inheritance
Isa congenital disease
Autosomal recessive in nature
There are 2 types: A and B
Type A: more common present in
1/40000 population
Type B: present in 1/80000 population
More common in Jewish population
