glycogen storage disease - type I; involves deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase; affects liver
Pompe's
glycogen storage disease - type II; involves deficiency in alpha 1-4-glycosidase; affects all lysosomes
Cori's
glycogen storage disease - type III; involves deficiency in debrancher enzyme & amylo-1-6-glycosidase; affects all organs
Anderson's
glycogen storage disease - type IV; involves deficiency in branching enzyme; affects liver & other organs
McArdle's
glycogen storage disease - type V; involves deficiency in muscle phosphorylase; affects muscle
Hers'
glycogen storage disease - type VI; involves deficiency in liver phosphorylase; affects liver
Tarui's
glycogen storage disease - type VIII; involves deficiency in phosphorylase kinase; affects liver
I-cell disease
lysosomal storage disease; results from a defective phsophotranferase (Golgi enzyme); prevents Golgi from targeting lysosomal protein to the lysosome; results in secretion of lysosomal proteins into the plasma
MPS-II Hunter's syndrome
mucopolysaccharidosis (LSD); results from iduronic acid-II-sulfatase deficiency; X-linked; interferes with breakdown of GAGs
MPS-I Hurler's syndrome
mucopolysaccharidosis (LSD); results from alpha-iduronidase deficiency; autosomal recessive; results in accumulation of GAGs
Sly syndrome
mucopolysaccharidoses (LSD); results from deficiency in beta-glucoronidase; autosomal recessive; results in accumulation of GAGs
Tay-Sach's disease
lysosomal storage disease; autosomal recessive; results from deficiency in beta-hexosaminidine A; results in accumulation of glycosphingolypids
Gaucher's disease
lysosomal storage disease; autosomal recessive; results from deficiency in beta-glucoceramididase; results in accumulation of glycosphingolipids
Krabbe's disease
lysosomal storage disease; results from deficiency in beta-galactoceramididase; results in accumulation of glycosphingolipids
Sandoff disease
lysosomal storage disease; results from deficiency in beta-N-acetylhexoaminidase; results in accumulation of glycosphingolipids
Fabry's disease
lysosomal storage disease; results from deficiency in alpha-galactosidase; results in accumulation of glycosphingolipids
CDG-I
congenital disorders of glycosylation; subset of genetic defects primarily affecting N-glycan assembly; involve inability to synthesize precursors (ER deficiency); patients generally diagnosed by altered electrophoretic mobility of plasma transferrin (usually glycosylated)
Sanfillipo A-D
mucopolysaccharidoses (LSD); result from deficiencies in enzymes necessary to break down heparin sulfate; autosomal recessive; results in accumulation of GAGs
CDG-II
congenital disorders of glycosylation; subset of genetic defects primarily affecting N-glycan assembly; involve inability to modify existing proteins (Golgi deficiency); patients generally diagnosed by altered electrophoretic mobility of plasma transferrin (usually glycosylated)
phenylketonuria; results from deficiency in BH4 or phenylalanine hydroxilase (PAH); prevents conversion of Phe -> Tyr; Tyr important in protein synthesis & DOPA synthesis & fumerate/acetoacetate production
MSUD
maple syrup urine disease; results from BCKD deficiency (branched-chain-keto-acid-dehydrogenase is important in the breakdown of branched amino acids); results in toxic buildup of Leu & Ile & Val; excreted urine high in branched-chain AAs and has a characteristic smell
folate deficiency
results in lack of THF (which provides single-carbon groups for protein synthesis & formation of red blood cells & cell growth/division); can -> neural tube defects such as spina bifida
nonketogenic hyperglycemia
results from deficiency in GCC (glycine cleavage complex) -> inability to cleave glycine; causes accumulation of glycine
ALD
adrenoleukodystrophy; X-linked recessive disorder; prevents beta-oxidation of VLFA chains by preventing their transfer to peroxisomes
gout
results from high levels of uric acid -> crystals; can be treated with allopurinol - inhibits xanthine oxidase activity and thus prevents conversion of hypoxanthine to uric acid
leptin resistance
occurs in many obese patients; mechanisms unknown; only 10% of obesity patients can be treated with leptin
