what are the lysosomal storage diseases
|
•Glycogenosis –Type II, Pompe Disease
•Tay Sachs Disease •Gaucher Disease •Neimann Pick Disease •Mucopolysaccharidosis –MPS I -Hurler Syndrome |
|
what is the mucopolysaccharidoses that we need to know
|
•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.) |
