CONT

Sly syndrome, also called mucopolysaccharidosis type VII(MPS VII), is a very rare lysosomal storage disease that has an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.... Sly syndrome is caused by deficiency of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, and it was the first MPS [mucopolysaccharidosis] for which the altered gene was localized to an autosome chromosome, the long arm of chromosome 7...

CONT

La mucopolysaccharidose de type VII (MPS VII) ou [la] maladie de Sly est une maladie de surcharge lysosomale, très rare, du groupe des mucopolysaccharidoses. [...] La maladie est due au déficit en bêta-D-glucuronidase, responsable de l'accumulation dans les lysosomes de divers glycosaminoglycanes [...] La transmission de la MPS VII se fait sur le mode récessif autosomique.

CONT

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II(MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is a rare X-linked recessive disease caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulphatase, leading to progressive accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in nearly all cell types, tissues and organs. Clinical manifestations include severe airway obstruction, skeletal deformities, cardiomyopathy and, in most patients, neurological decline.

La mucopolysaccharidose de type II est une maladie évolutive, progressive [et] multisystémique. […] Il s'agit d'une maladie génétique transmise sur le mode récessif lié au chromosome X.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

My reseach concentrates in the area of human biochemical and molecular genetic studies of lysosomal enzymes involved in dermatan sulfate, heparin, and heparin sulfate degradation. A deficiency in any one of the enzymes causes a human genetic lysosomal storage disease known as mucopolysaccharidosis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Les maladies lysosomales sont des affections monogéniques dues au déficit des enzymes intralysosomales impliquées dans le catabolisme de macromolécules. Leur gravité clinique est l'absence, pour la plupart d'entre elles, de traitement efficace rendant prioritaires les tentatives de mises au point de thérapies géniques.

CONT

A gel-like found in body cells, mucous secretions, and synovial fluids. When there is a defiency of enzymes necessary to breakdown mucopolysaccharides, a condition called mucopolysaccharidosis(MPS) exists. Mucopolysaccharidosis is a group of genetic disorders that result in excessive accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in body tissus and results in many serious physical disorders.

DEF

Toute maladie caractérisée par l'accumulation de polysaccharides dans l'organisme.

CONT

Les mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), en particulier, ont bénéficié d'améliorations aussi bien biologiques que cliniques. Parmi les soixante-trois malades ainsi traités en Europe, onze cas de MPS ont vu leurs signes vitaux diminuer.
