Although arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency is characterized as a disease, about 1-2% of any population of clinically healthy people have two copies of the ARSA pseudodeficiency allele, identified by rs6151429. This does lead to low levels of arylsulfatase (ARSA).[PMID 1678251 ...

1AUK: Crystal structure of human arylsulfatase A: the aldehyde function and the metal ion at the active site suggest a novel mechanism for sulfate ester hydrolysis.

I follow the example of Lion to express a feeling about how things are happening to us. There is the notion - inside and outside of cw - that people in the net work differently, that they understand themselves less than individuals and increasingly more as nodes of a communication system. As such nodes humans act as processors. They filter information. They connect communities that are places of awareness. They react on impulses that come in and trigger new impulses that go out. This is one perspective.. The other perspective is that by loosing a large part of individuality, personal interests and ego-ness, by being aware of other peoples and communities interests and acting in favor of common interests, one becomes a kind of neutral medium for interaction. TheHumanAsaMedium means that the human acts as subsystem used for communication and collaboration by individuals and communities that could otherwise not interact. As a result of being an aware medium a production of insight or knowledge is ...

A pseudodeficiency allele or pseudodeficiency mutation is a mutation that alters the protein product or changes the genes expression, but without causing disease. For example, in the lysosomal storage diseases, patients with a pseudodeficiency allele show greatly reduced enzyme activity, yet they remain clinically healthy. In medical genetics, a false positive result occurs in an enzyme assay test when test results are positive, but disease or morbidity is not present. One possible cause of false positive results is a pseudodeficiency allele. Disease may also be present, but at a subclinical level. Tay-Sachs disease. Enzyme assay testing was especially effective among Ashkenazi Jews because fewer pseudodeficiency alleles are found in this population, as compared with the general population. Carrier screening has not been as reliable in the general population. Metachromatic leukodystrophy. Low arylsulphatase A activity can occur in healthy individuals. This poses a challenge in genetic testing, ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy. Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder in which the desulfation of 3-0-sulfogalactosyl-containing glycolipids by arylsulfatase A (ASA) is defective. The clinical onset and severity of MLD is variable. The late infantile form typically presents in the second year of life, the juvenile form presents between age 4 and puberty, and the adult form may present at any age after puberty. Gait disturbance and mental regression are the earliest signs. Depending on the variant, other symptoms include blindness, seizures, and behavioral disturbances. Diagnosis of MLD is complicated by the fact that significant reduction of ASA activity may not prove MLD and that its presence does not exclude it. Significant reduction of ASA activity is observed in individuals homozygous for the pseudodeficiency allele. Normal ASA activity is observed in MLD patients with a deficiency of saposin B. Residual activity can be detected in patients with late ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD, also called arylsulfatase A deficiency) is a lysosomal storage disease which is commonly listed in the family of leukodystrophies as well as among the sphingolipidoses as it affects the metabolism of sphingolipids. Leukodystrophies affect the growth and/or development of myelin, the fatty covering which acts as an insulator around nerve fibers throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. MLD involves cerebroside sulfate accumulation. Metachromatic leukodystrophy, like most enzyme deficiencies, has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Like many other genetic disorders that affect lipid metabolism, there are several forms of MLD, which are late infantile, juvenile, and adult. In the late infantile form, which is the most common form of MLD (50-60%), affected children begin having difficulty walking after the first year of life, usually at 15-24 months. Symptoms include muscle wasting and weakness, muscle rigidity, developmental delays, ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies. These diseases impair the growth or development of the myelin sheath, the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers. Myelin, which lends its color to the white matter of the brain, is a complex substance made up of varying lipids (75%) and proteins (25%). The leukodystrophies are caused by genetic defects in myelin production or metabolization of the compounds of the myelin sheath. Each of the leukodystrophies is the result of a defect in the gene that controls one (and only one) of the enzymes responsible for creating or degrading a part of the myelin. MLD is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A. MLD is one of several lipid storage diseases, which results in the toxic build-up of fatty materials (lipids) in cells in the nervous system, liver, and kidneys. There are three forms of MLD: late infantile, juvenile, and adult. Onset of the late infantile form (the ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare genetic condition that causes a buildup of a specific type of fat (sulfatides) in brain and spinal cord cells. This buildup causes leukodystrophy, which is progressive destruction of cells that have a myelin coating (white matter) in the brain and spinal cord. Destruction of these cells leads to the inability to think clearly and perform physical tasks. Individuals with MLD lose the ability to perform daily functions over time, such as talking and walking. As the disease progresses, individuals lose awareness of where they are and eventually become unresponsive. Blindness, seizures and hearing loss may also occur. There are three forms of MLD: late infantile form, juvenile form, and adult form. The late infantile form, which is the most common form, begins in the second year of life and progresses rapidly. The juvenile form typically begins between 4 years of age and teenage years, while the adult form starts after the teenage years.. MLD, which is an ...

Arylsulfatases: Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a phenol sulfate to yield a phenol and sulfate. Arylsulfatase A, B, and C have been separated. A deficiency of arylsulfatases is one of the causes of metachromatic leukodystrophy (LEUKODYSTROPHY, METACHROMATIC). EC 3.1.6.1.

Substrate Reduction Therapy. With MLD there is not enough ARSA enzyme present to break down all of the sulfatides produced by the body. Instead of increasing the enzyme levels, which is the goal of most other MLD therapies, substrate reduction therapy focuses on reducing the amount of sulfatide produced by the body.. Dr. Maegawa from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore is working on a small molecule therapy to reduce the substrate build up. He has seen a significant reduction in build up in skin fibroblasts using a similar approach for Tay Sachs disease and is in human clinical trials for that effort. As of July 2011 he is in his second year of MLD research and has an assy in development for MLD. He plans to screen the NCGI library of elements once the assay is completed.. Zacharon Pharmaceuticals from San Diego is initiating a drug discovery program for MLD. This program is based on using assays which measure sulfatide accumulation in cultured fibroblasts as a means to discover and develop small ...

Shanice Beerepoot, a PhD candidate at the Amsterdam Leukodystrophy Center, Amsterdam University Medical Centre (ERN-RND member), spent 6 weeks at the Paediatric Neurology department, University Hospital Tübingen, Germany to conduct research with Samuel Gröschel and Alexander Grimm. They investigated how the disease Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) affects the peripheral nerves in patients over time by analyzing the results of nerve conduction studies and nerve ultrasounds. Her stay was supported by the EJP RD fellowship program.. Thanks to this program I had the opportunity to combine the data of German and Dutch MLD patients, resulting in a total of 285 nerve conduction studies (from 97 patients) and 58 nerve ultrasounds (from 36 patients) to be analyzed. So far, the largest study examining peripheral neuropathy in MLD patients included one nerve conduction measurement in 40 patients with early disease onset (http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/jnnp.2005.063776). In addition, nerve ultrasound ...

Results In this retrospective study, 16 patients with baseline scans were included, 5 with good, 3 with moderate and 8 with poor outcome, and 16 controls. We observed significant group differences for all metabolite concentrations in white matter (p,0.001). Compared with controls, patients had decreased N-acetylaspartate and glutamate, and increased myo-inositol and lactate, most pronounced in patients with poor outcome (post hoc, all p,0.05). Logistic regression showed complete separation of data. Creatine could distinguish poor from moderate and good outcome, the sum of glutamate and glutamine could distinguish good from moderate and poor outcome, and N-acetylaspartate could distinguish all outcome groups. For 13 patients (8 with baseline scans), one or more follow-up examinations were evaluated, revealing stabilisation or even partial normalisation of metabolites in patients with moderate and good outcome, clearly visible in the ratio of choline/N-acetylaspartate. ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of galactosyl sulfatide (cerebroside sulfate) in the white matter of the central nervous system and in the peripheral nervous system. Galactosyl sulfatide and, to a smaller extent, lactosyl sulfatide, also accumulate within the kidney, gallbladder, and other visceral organs and are excreted in excessive amounts in the urine.. The 3 clinical forms of MLD are late-infantile, juvenile, and adult, depending on age of onset. All result in progressive neurologic changes and leukodystrophy demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging. Late-infantile MLD is the most common (50%-60% of cases) and usually presents between age 1 to 2 years with hypotonia, clumsiness, diminished reflexes, and slurred speech. Progressive neurodegeneration occurs and most patients die within 5 years of the diagnosis. Juvenile MLD (20%-30% of cases) is characterized by ...

Bethany, the seventh child of David and Lindey McIntyre, was born in London, Canada on April 1st, 1993. Bethany was born as normal as her brothers and sisters and her early life saw steady development, obtaining the usual milestones. Bethanys only difficulty seemed to be her late progression in walking. She demonstrated a difficulty with balance. This problem was investigated in London and in Toronto and on August 12th, 1995 after an exhaustive eight months of tests this little 2 ½-year-old was diagnosed with a terrible disease - Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). On the day of her diagnosis, Bethany was very much an active little child and was playing with Lego blocks while her medical team explained the dreadful prognosis.. Stunned by this revelation the McIntyres searched for answers and hope for their child only to be told that the medical community had nothing to offer. One comment from a veteran Doctor in the room that afternoon that they will never forget was - why bother …. after ...

Arylsulfatase A (ASA) is a lysosomal enzyme involved in the catabolism of cerebroside sulfate. ASA deficiency is associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). Low ASA activities have also been reported in a more common condition with no apparent clinical consequences termed ASA pseudo-deficiency (ASA-PD) which is associated with two linked mutations in the ASA gene (c.1049A | G and c.*96A | G). This study aimed to investigate the frequency of the two ASA-PD variants and their linkage disequilibrium (LD) among Tunisians. ASA-PD variants were detected in 129 healthy Tunisians and their frequencies were compared to those described worldwide. The frequency of the PD allele was estimated at 17.4 % for the overall sample, with c.1049A | G and c.*96A | G frequencies of 25.6 and 17.4 %, respectively. This study also revealed a high LD between the two ASA-PD variants (r (2) = 0.61). Inter-population analysis revealed similarities in the ASA-PD genetic structure between Tunisians and populations from Middle

Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare disorder characterized by impaired activity of all known sulfatases. The gene mutated in this disease is SUMF1, which encodes a protein involved in a post-translational modification at the catalytic site of all sulfatases that is necessary for their function. SUMF1 strongly enhances the activity of sulfatases when coexpressed with sulfatase in Cos-7 cells. We performed a mutational analysis of SUMF1 in 20 MSD patients of different ethnic origin. The clinical presentation of these patients was variable, ranging from severe neonatal forms to mild phenotypes showing mild neurological involvement. A total of 22 SUMF1 mutations were identified, including missense, nonsense, microdeletion, and splicing mutations. We expressed all missense mutations in culture to study their ability to enhance the activity of sulfatases. Of the predicted amino acid changes, 11 (p.R349W, p.R224W, p.L20F, p.A348P, p.S155P, p.C218Y, p.N259I, p.A279V, p.R349Q, p.C336R, p.A177P)

Arylsulfatase A (ASA)-deficient mice are a model for the lysosomal storage disorder metachromatic leukodystrophy. This lipidosis is characterised by the lysosomal accumulation of the sphingolipid sulfatide. Storage of this lipid is associated with progressive demyelination. We have mated ASA-deficient mice with mice heterozygous for a non-functional allele of UDP-galactose:ceramide-galactosyltransferase (CGT). This deficiency is known to lead to a decreased synthesis of galactosylceramide and sulfatide, which should reduce sulfatide storage and improve pathology in ASA-deficient mice. ASA-/- CGT+/- mice, however, showed no detectable decrease in sulfatide storage. Neuronal degeneration of cells in the spiral ganglion of the inner ear, however, was decreased. Behavioural tests showed small but clear improvements of the phenotype in ASA-/- CGT+/- mice. Thus the reduction of galactosylceramide and sulfatide biosynthesis by genetic means overall causes modest improvements of pathology.

At 10 oclock in the morning on a Friday one year ago, our phone rings. It is our (then) pediatrician with Esmés brain MRI. Shed had the brain scan to look for damage after her cardiac and respiratory arrest several months before-when she was three months old.. The good news, he says is that there is no damage from her event in April. The MRI has also given us some insight into why Esmé is the way she is. It looks as though she has some form of leukodystrophy.. He explains that there are lots of different forms of leukodystrophy and that this does not constitute a diagnosis since we will need to figure out what type she has.. He spells the word leukodystrophy for me. Twice.. Ten minutes on the internet shows me that almost every form of the disease is fatal in two to ten years. The one I can find that is not fatal occurs only in boys. My husband leaves work immediately hearing my hysterical voice on the other end of the phone…I can hardly form words. We spend the weekend curled in ...

Types A and B appear most often in Jewish families. Type C affects all ethnic groups and is the most common. Ataxia and dystonia are followed by supranuclear vertical gaze palsy, seizures, and dementia. Hepatosplenomegaly often coexists. Foamy (lipid-laden) cells or sea-blue histiocytes in the liver and bone marrow are diagnostic. Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (Arylsulfatase A or Saposin B Deficiency) Deficiency of arylsulfatase A or its activator, saposin B, leads to accumulation of cerebroside sulfate, which causes progressive (frontal-predominant) central and peripheral demyelination.

The relative activities of arylsulphatases A and B were measured in rat liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells, in peritoneal macrophages and in a number of rat tissues. Although absolute values cannot be obtained, it was shown that the arylsulphatase B/arylsulphatase A activity ratio is much higher in non-parenchymal cells than in parenchymal cells. The ratios in adrenals, brain and testis are very similar to each other but differ from those found in spleen, kidney and liver. These ratio variations may be caused by alterations in the activity of the B enzyme rather than the A enzyme. The relatively high B enzyme/A enzyme ratios in all rat tissues explains why the method devised for the independent assay of human arylsulphatases A and B cannot be employed with rat tissues.. ...

Sulfatases are enzymes essential for degradation and remodeling of sulfate esters. Formylglycine (FGly), the key catalytic residue in the active site, is unique to sulfatases. In higher eukaryotes, FGly is generated from a cysteine precursor by the FGly-generating enzyme (FGE). Inactivity of FGE results in multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD), a fatal autosomal recessive syndrome. Based on the crystal structure, we report that FGE is a single-domain monomer with a surprising paucity of secondary structure and adopts a unique fold. The effect of all 18 missense mutations found in MSD patients is explained by the FGE structure, providing a molecular basis of MSD. The catalytic mechanism of FGly generation was elucidated by six high-resolution structures of FGE in different redox environments. The structures allow formulation of a novel oxygenase mechanism whereby FGE utilizes molecular oxygen to generate FGly via a cysteine sulfenic acid intermediate. Molecular basis for multiple sulfatase ...
