•Mucopolysaccharidosis
–MPS I -Hurler Syndrome
types I, II, III, IV, VI, VII
what goes wrong in mucopolysaccharidoses
Deficient enzyme needed for degradation of glycosaminoglycans (dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate)
what is the time course of the mucopolysaccharidoses symptoms
clinically progressive MR and dysostosis multiplex (skeletal and joint dysplasia)
what are the clinical features of mucopolysaccharidosis
•Coarse facial features
•Clouded cornea
•Skeletal and joint dysplasia (dysostosis multiplex)
•Hepatosplenomegaly
•Cardiac valve sclerosis and subendothelial coronary artery deposits
•Mental retardation
what are the features of Pompe Disease, aka.
glycogenosis Type II, Pompe disease.
Glucosidase deficiency
•Lysosomes store glycogen
•Cardiomegaly
•Hepatomegaly
•Death in infancy or childhood
features of Gaucher Disease - enzyme wise
MOST Common LSD
•Glucocerebrosidase deficiency
•Glucocerebrosidase cleaves glucose residue from ceramide
•Accumulate glucocerebrosidein fixed tissue macrophage system
•Distended cells called Gaucher Cells
clinical features of Gaucher Disease
•Hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia due to hypersplenism
•Gaucher cells in spleen, liver, marrow, nodes, lungs
–Large cells with WRINKLED TISSUE PAPER CYTOPLASM
•Enzyme replacement treats
what is another name for Tay-Sachs Disease
Gm2 Gangliosidosis
what is enzyme deficiency in Tay-Sachs
•Deficiency of hexosaminidase A
•Accumulation of GM2 Gangliosides (Glucocerebroside and sphingomyelin)
clinical picture of Tay-Sachs
•Severe brain involvement
–Progressive mental, motor deterioration, ataxia, blindness, dementia, death by 3 yo
•Cherry-red spot
what is the enzyme deficiency in Niemann-Pick Disease
Sphingomyelinase deficiency
what is the clinical picture of Niemann-Pick Disease
•Accumulation of sphingomyelin “zebra bodies” in fixed tissue macrophages, neurons
•Organs most affected: brain, spleen, liver, bone marrow, lymph nodes,lungs
•Cherry red spot in 1/3
•Severe infantile form
–Massive HSM, failure to thrive, psychomotor deterioration
•Whorled and zebra body storage in brain, spleen, liver, nodes, marrow and lungs
what are the two lysosomal storage diseases common in Ashkenazi Jews
Tay-Sachs disease and Niemann-Pick Disease
what is wrong in cystic fibrosis
wide-spread defect in secretion in exocrine glands, epithelium of respiratory, GI, reproductive tracts
what is the gene deficiency in Cystic Fibrosis
CFTR gene mutation (on Chr 7q) make epithelial membranes relatively impermeable to Cl-ions,
–cAMP-dependent Cl-channels (encoded by CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene) defective
what is wrong in the lungs of kids with cystic fibrosis
abnormal viscidity of airway secretions = airway obstruction = chronic bacterial infection = bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, abscess, pneumonia and respiratory failure (death is usually thru pulmonary disease)
other than the lungs what else is wrong with cystic fibrosis patients
•Chronic pancreatis (Pancreatic insufficiency, dilated ducts, exocrine atrophy, malabsorption, malnutrition)
–Abdominal distention
–Malnutrition: Poor weight gain
•Malnutrition: Biliary cirrhosis –bile inspissation
•Mucorium ileus: Intestinal obstruction
•Infertility: Absent vas, block epididymis, vas, azoospermia
what are some multifactorial disorders and what is the inheritance pattern
CL/CP, congenital heart malformation, pyloric stenosis, neural tube defect. one child = slightly higher risk of another child with it. two children = even higher risk.
what are some clinical features of pyloric stenosis
first-born boy with projectile vomiting. palpable olive. treat with pyloromyotomy
small for gestational age aka
fetal growth restriction
what are some causes of small for gestational age
•Fetal diseases
–Genetic abnormalities
–Congenital infection
–Congential malformation
•Utero-Placental insufficiency
–Previa
–Abruption
–Maternal illness
what are some causes of symmetric growth restriction
•Affects all organ systems equally
•Fetal causes (trisomy, infections, malformations)
what are some causes of assymmetric growth retardation
Maternal or placental causes
what does it mean to assymmetric growth retardation
brain spared relative to viscera
what are some causes of LGA
obese mother, diabetic mother
what are some clinical features of LGA
•Hypertrophy, hyperplasia of pancreatic islets, overgrowth of fetal adipose tissue, hypoglycemia
•Malformations (3x increased risk), fetal demise
•Increased risk of RDS (hyaline membrane disease), birth trauma
what are some causes of prematurity
•Chorioamnionitis
•Premature rupture of membranes
•Abruption
•Uterine abnormalities
•Multiple gestation
•Fetal infection
what are some complications of prematurity
•Immature Lungs –Hyaline Membrane Disease
•Immature Brain –Germinal matrix, intraventricular hemorrhage
•Immature Gut –Necrotizing Enterocolitis
what are some features of hyaline membrane disease
•Clinical: Premature, respiratory distress, retraction, cyanosis, ground glass chest x-ray
•Incidence inversely proportional to gestational age
–60% of <28 wk gestation, 5% of >37wk gestation
what are hyaline membranes formed from
fibrin, cell debris
what are some things that decrease surfactant
prematurity, insulin
what are some things that increase surfactant
steroids, thyroxine, labor, fetal stress
what is intraventricular hemorrhage caused by
happens less than 30 weeks of gestation. Due to high germinal matrix blood flow, high metabolic activity, fragile vessels, poor cerebral blood vessel autoregulation, hypoxia, endothelial damage, increased venous pressure
necrotizing enterocolitis
•Distal small bowel and colon
–Terminal ileum, cecum and right colon
•Distended bowel
•Mucosal or full thickness ischemic necrosis
•Pneumatosis intestinalis (Xray sign: The literal meaning is gas in the bowel wall, as opposed to in the lumen which is normal.)
