Diagnosis and prevention of lysosomal storage diseases in Russia

Abstract: A special programme for the diagnosis and prevention of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) was developed in the former USSR. All the patients from 814 families at risk were investigated using biochemical techniques. In total, 363 patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), mucolipidoses, glycoproteinoses, sphingolipidoses and other LSD were diagnosed; 55 families at risk sought prenatal diagnosis and 67 fetuses were investigated for MPS (types I, II, IIIA and IIIB, VI), Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, GM1-ga… Show more

“…For some diseases, this is a setback due to their relative frequency, which can affect the calculation of a precise combined incidence; such is the case for MPS II, MPS III A, MPS IV A, Krabbe disease, and NiemannPick C disease. If these enzyme defects would have been assayed, and considering the average prevalence/incidence reported by other authors, our combined incidence would approach 8.0/100,000, which is very similar to that reported in British Columbia (Applegarth et al, 2000), but still lower than the rest of the epidemiological studies (Krasnopolskaya et al, 1993;Meikle et al, 1999;Poorthuis et al, 1999;Pinto et al, 2004;Poupetová et al, 2010). Another is the case for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), for which relatively high prevalences have been reported in Portugal, Czech Republic and Finland (2.14, 2.29 and 12.5 per 100,000, respectively ;Santavuori, 1988;Pinto et al, 2004;Poupetová et al, 2010).…”

“…Several of the studies report numbers of cases detected, but are unclear about the size of the denominator population. [42][43][44][45] The best conducted studies and those most relevant to the UK would appear to be the Dutch, 46 Frequency studies of disease-causing mutations in the gene for glucocerebrosidase have been reported for those diagnosed with Gaucher's disease 19,20 and general populations; these indicate that, at least for some mutations such as N370S, many asymptomatic individuals exist who are mutant at both alleles but never come to the attention of medical services for Gaucher's disease-related manifestations. 8 This, together with the large number of identified different disease-causing mutations, means that these studies are of little use in estimating the overall numbers of diagnosed cases, their severity and the consequent requirements for service provision.…”

“…Linkage disequilibrium studies similar to those used to suggest the presence of W402X and Q70X (Scott et al, 1992e) may be possible in an extended Italian patient group, where only 50% of alleles are defined, or new patient groups such as a Russian patient group (Krasnopolskaya et al, 1993) to suggest the presence of common mutations. Alternatively, with present mutation detection technology, it may be simpler to define mutations in a limited number of patients and then screen the entire patient group.…”
