http://www.europeangaucheralliance.org/egaintro2002.htm

Extractions: The number of men, women and children suffering from Gauchers disease in Europe is very small compared to the hundreds of millions of people who populate the continent. Yet with the communication network of the 21st century, families afflicted with Gauchers disease can reach each other both within their own countries and world-wide with relative ease. Patient support groups in many European countries have been established due to a number of factors, not least the availability of an effective treatment and the hard work and dedication shown by many doctors and scientists. The sufferers and their families themselves have played a major part in building up a network of support. The European Gaucher Alliance is an umbrella organisation linking patient support groups. The first patient support group in Europe was formed in the north of Sweden in 1975 by parents of children with Type 3 Gauchers disease. The aim of the Norrbotten based Morbus Gaucher-foreningen was to promote and look after patients' interests regarding treatment, care, rehabilitation and social security. The group represented patients when contacting different authorities and gave out relevant information about the disease. Today they have about 120 members.

Extractions: Clinical Trials - OGT 918 and NPC Oxford GlycoSciences are keen to keep us informed of progress and will be issuing a regular bimonthly newsletter, which will give updates on clinical studies and developments within OGS. The first issue will be produced in the New Year and go to all the patient groups including Niemann-Pick, Gauchers, Fabry etc. and be posted on the OGS lnternet site www.ogs.com. This will provide a consistent supply of information to the patient groups and is a really positive development that will be of benefit to both OGS and the patient communities. OGT918 and Gauchers Disease A trial of OGT918 for Gaucher patients with the neuronopathic form of the disease is in the preliminary stages of discussion between Dr Roscoe Brady and Dr Raphael Schiffmann of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA and Oxford GlycoSciences. The proposed trial would take place at the NIH. NPC1 Protein Structure NPC1 is proving to be a protein whose function has hidden depths and whose history dates back to the dawn of life on earth. Recent scientific papers published indicate significant similarity to proteins found in bacteria and from analysis of the protein structure and orientation within cellular membranes, it is possible for scientists to make an informed estimate of the role of NPC1 in cell operation. Considerable scientific interest has been generated in the NPC1 aspect of cell operation. This can only be good for the families affected in that greater understanding will assist in the formulation of potential treatments. In addition, more scientists will be drawn to this area of research and this in turn could accelerate progress towards an effective treatment for NPC.

Extractions: The recent advances in mutation analysis of NP-C patients has revealed over 100 different mutations and it is likely that more will be identified as new families are diagnosed. What does this mean to us and how will it affect our plans to assist families? It is a complex topic from all viewpoints, the main ones being: the scientific explanation, the relationships between family members and the potential legal implications. Each of the 100,000 or so genes that define our life, in terms of development, personality and death, specify the production of a specific protein. These proteins are responsible for the operation of the many 'chemical factories' that exist within each of the billions of cells of our bodies. Many proteins are enzymes which catalyse (speed up) the chemical reactions, needed to break down and to build the many complex molecules which keep us alive. Some of the proteins are required to transport these molecules to the places where they are needed in the cell. NPC1 is a transport protein. All proteins are constructed from amino acids, connected together, like a string of pearls, which is then folded in a particular way, to enable the protein to function correctly. Each of the amino acids is specified by a coded DNA sequence. The gene is a combination of many of these sequences and also includes many other DNA sequences which appear to be inactive (sometimes known as 'junk' DNA).

Extractions: Gaucher disease is an inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and sometimes in the brain. There are three types of Gaucher disease. The first category, called type 1 , is by far the most common. Patients in this group usually bruise easily and experience fatigue due to anemia and low blood platelets. They also have an enlarged liver and spleen, skeletal disorders, and, in some instances, lung and kidney impairment. There are no signs of brain involvement. Symptoms can appear at any age. In

Extractions: Gaucher's Disease is an inherited disease. An enzyme deficiency disorder. Gaucher Disease, also called cerebroside lipidosis and familial splenic anemia, is an autosomal-recessive condition named after French physician Philippe Gaucher. Gaucher Disease occurs at any age, but it is most dangerous and most severe in infants. In essence, Gaucher Disease results from the deposition of glucocerebroside in the liver, bone marrow, and spleen. The enzyme glucocerebrosidase normally breaks down glucocerebroside, but patients with Gaucher Disease do not manufacture enough of the enzyme, and deposition of glucocerebroside results.

http://www.ctisus.org/rsna_2004/spleen/gauchers.html

Extractions: Gaucher's disease results from a lack of glucerebrosidase producing accumulation of ceramide in cells of the reticular endothelial system (RES), particularly involving the bone marrow, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. There are three subtypes of Gaucher's disease, varying widely in severity. Ninety-nine percent of individuals have subtype I. Clinical symptoms appear from early childhood to late adulthood. The majority of symptomatic patients will present during adolescence. Those displaying symptoms before the age of 10 y/o tend to have a more severe and progressive form of the disease. The accumulation of Gaucher cells leads to clinical symptoms of anemia, bone pain, and hepatic dysfunction and develop easy bruising, lethargy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Hepatosplenomegaly is readily visualized on CT and results from diffuse infiltration of these organs with ceramide. The ceramide deposition can also produce focal low density masses on contrast enhanced CT due to accumulation of gaucher cells. Masses can also appear as a result of focal infarction from relative regions of ischemia in areas of infiltration. These masses simulate a variety of benign and malignant tumors of the spleen. Ancillary radiographic findings that may favor Gaucher's disease as the etiology of the masses over other tumors include Erlenmeyer flask deformity of the femurs, aseptic necrosis of the femoral heads, generalized osteopenia, or multiple diffuse lytic lesions of osseous structures.

Extractions: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a degenerative neurological disorder of uncertain etiology characterized by gait ataxia, slowing or inability to generate voluntary saccadic eye movements, and axial rigidity. The most characteristic aspect of PSP is an inability to move the eyes, but the first symptom of PSP is usually unsteadiness and falling. PSP was first described as a distinct disorder in 1964. It is sometimes referred to as Steele-Richardson-Olszewksi syndrome, reflecting the names of the individuals who defined the disorder. PSP is estimated to affect about 4-6.4/100,000 persons, or about 5-6 percent of persons thought to have Parkinsonism. The incidence rate for new cases for ages 50-99 is 5.3/100,000, the crude incidence rate is 1.1/100K (Bower et al, 1997; Schrag et al, 1999). The peak incidence is in the early sixties. Men are affected slightly more often than women. PSP does not generally run in families, although there are some pedigrees reported. An illness resembling PSP is very common in Guam, sometimes in association with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and dementia. The cause of Guamanian PSP is unclear although it has been attributed to unusual dietary factors, possibly interaction with genetic factors (Cox and Sacks, 2002). Recently a high prevalence of PSP like illness has been found on the island of Guadeloupe in the French West Indies (Caparros-Lefebre, 1999). In this population, it is suspected that a PSP like illness is related to ingestion of native teas called "soursop" and "sweetsop", both of which are forms of the "custard apple".
