Extractions: About ISMRD (home page) Governance History Penguins Professional Advisory Board ... ISMRD Site Map ISMRD is an internationally focused nonprofit organization whose mission is to advocate for families and patients affected by one of the Glycoprotein Storage Diseases: Alpha-Mannosidosis, Aspartylglucosaminuria, Beta-Mannosidosis, Fucosidosis, Galactosialidosis, Mucolipidosis II (I-Cell Disease), Mucolipidosis III (Pseudo-Hurler Polydystrophy), Schindler Disease and Sialidosis. These diseases are the ultra-orphans of the Lysosomal Storage Disease family, which encompass over 40 similar disorders, and currently have few treatments beyond symptomatic care. ISMRD's advocacy efforts are not limited by borders, language, race or religion. With the benefit of a crystal ball ISMRD's Board of Directors envisions a future where children are detected early, treated effectively and go on to live long, healthy and productive lives. In this new reality science, medicine and families will have collaborated to find cures where none exist today and the need for an organization such as ISMRD will no longer exist. We invite you to utilize our website to learn more about these diseases and ISMRD's role in bringing our vision to reality. Please

Extractions: start page clinical aspects biochemical info genetics therapeutic approaches How long has the disease been known? The existence of so-called Hurler-like diseases had been known for many years when in 1967 Oeckermann in Lund, Sweden, described a boy who represented an isolated case of an apparently new disorder. Mental retardation, susceptibility to infection, coarse features, and skeletal abnormalities were seen. Abnormal white blood cells containing so-called vacuoles were found. The child died of an infection, and in the tissues total mannose, a particular sugar, was strikingly increased and alpha-mannosidase activity, the enzyme which normally should take care of these sugars, showed to be only a few per cent of expected. Since then, the disease has also been found in a number of other species, like in cattle and in cats. Back to Contents What is wrong?

Extractions: Mannosidosis Mannosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder of the oligosaccharide family and closely related to the Mucopolysaccharidoses. Alpha-Mannosidosis was first described by Dr Oekermann, from Lund in Sweden, in 1967. There is another variant known as Beta-Mannosidosis which is extremely rare and has produced a wide range of clinical abnormalities in the few patients described with this disorder. Mannosidosis is an enzyme deficiency disorder which results in defective mannosidase activity and the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains. This accumulation is responsible for many problems that affect individuals with Mannosidosis. Whilst there is no cure for individuals affected by this disorder, a booklet published by the MPS Society sets out to demonstrate the presentation and clinical management of this disease. The prospect of new therapies is also addressed. The booklet draws on the experiences of parents and doctors and with reference to medical literature. What causes Mannosidosis?

Alpha-Mannosidosis Alpha mannosidosis is one of a group of very rare inherited disorders known as glycoprotein and related http://my.webmd.com/hw/raising_a_family/nord420.asp
Extractions: Alpha-mannosidosis is one of a group of very rare inherited disorders known as glycoprotein and related storage diseases. These disorders are caused by a defect in the breakdown of complex molecules in the cells, as a result of an enzyme deficiency. The enzyme that is lacking is known as alpha-D-mannosidase. The molecules that are not broken down are stored in the small components within cells known as lysosomes. The approximately 50 diseases in which this occurs are known as lysosomal storage diseases. In addition to alpha mannosidosis and a related disorder, beta mannosidosis, the lysosomal storage disorders include Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, cystinosis, aspartylglycosaminuria, the mucopolysaccharidoses, the mucolipidoses, and others.
