Fabry's (X recessive)

accumulation of ceramide trihexoside
lysosomal storage disease
Features of Fabry's
*skin lesions (angiokeratoma)
*accumulation of lipids in heart and kidneys
*peripheral neuropathy of hands and feet
A deficiency of the enzyme alpha galactosidase A causes a glycolipid known as globotriaosylceramide (also abbreviated as Gb3, GL-3, or ceramide trihexoside) to accumulate within the blood vessels, other tissues, and organs. This accumulation leads to an impairment of their proper function. The condition affects hemizygous males, as well as both heterozygous and homozygous females; males tend to experience the most severe clinical symptoms, while females vary from virtually no symptoms to those as serious as males. This variability is thought to be due to X-inactivation patterns during embryonic development of the female.
Deficient beta glucocerebrosidase
Gaucher's (glucocerobroside accumulates, which is a constituent of RBCs and WBCs)
Features of Gaucher's
*hepatosplenomegaly due to inability of macrophages to clear waste (painless)

Deficient galactocerebrosidase
Krabbe's (accumulated galactoceramide)
Features of Krabbe's
*deficient myelin due to accumulation of lipids

*optic atrophy and globoid cells
Deficient arylsulfatase A
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (accumulation of sulfitides)
Features of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
*sulfitide attacks myelin in CNS and PNS
*ataxia and dementia

Hurler's (heparan and dermatan sulfate accumulate)
Features of Hurler's
*airway obstruction
*corneal clouding
*gargoylism
Deficient iduronate sulfatase
Hunter's (heparan and dermatan sulfate accumulate) X linked
Features of Hunter's
*mild hurler's
*aggression
deficiency of aldolase B
fructose intolerance (accumulation of F-1-P)

avoid fructose and sucrose
effects of fructose intolerance
decrease in available phosphate, leading to decrease in glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
symptoms of fructose intolerance
hypoglycemia

jaundice/cirrhosis

vomiting after fructose intake
deficiency of fructokinase
essential fructosuria (fructose appears in blood and urine, benign)
absence of galactose-1-P uridultransferase
galactosemia (AR, accumulation of galactitol)

avoid galactose and lactose
effects of galactosemia
cataracts, hepatosplenomegaly, mental retardation
deficiency of galactokinase
causes galactitol accumulation, usually cataracts are only manifestation
defects in albinism
tyrosinase deficiency (can't make melanin from tyrosine)

defective tyrosine transporters
cause of albinism
lack of migration of neural crest cells

variable inheritance
types of homocystinuria
cystathionine synthase deficiency

decreased cystathionine synthase affinity for B6

homocysteine methyltransferase deficiency
cystathionine synthase deficiency leads to
increased methionine and homocysteine


can't make cysteine, treat with increased cysteine and B12
features of homocystinuria
mental retardation

osteoporosis (increased homocysteine interferes with collagen cross-linking)

tall, kyphotic, lens subluxation down and in, atherosclerosis (Marfanoid)
defect in cystinuria
renal tubular transporter of cysteine, ornithine, lysine and arginine in PCT
features of cystinuria
staghorn calculi

treated with acetazolamide to alkalinize the urine
defect in MSUD
blocked degradation of branched amino acids ileucine, valine and leucine due to decreased alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase
effects of MSUD
increased ketoacids (leucine)

CNS defects, mental retardation and death

typically presents 4-7 days after birth with lethargy

treat with thiamine
deficiency in SCID
adenosine deaminase

ADA deficiency is due to a lack of the enzyme adenosine deaminase coded for by a gene on chromosome 20. There is an accumulation of deoxyadenosine,[2] which causes an increase in S-adenosylhomocysteine; both substances are toxic to immature lymphocytes, which thus fail to mature. As a result, the immune system is severely compromised or completely lacking.
