Biochemical and Molecular Basis of Some Mendelian Disorders

Enzyme Phenylalanine hydroxylase mutation: reduced amount of enzyme causing Phenylketonuria

Hexosaminidase mutation with stop codon:
reduced amount causing Tay-Sachs disease

Adenosine deaminase mutation causing Severe combined immunodeficiency

a1 –Antitrypsin mutations: impaired secretion from liver to serum, causing emphysema and liver cirrhosis

Low-density lipoprotein receptor mutations: Familial hypercholesterolemia

Vitamin D receptor mutations: Vitamin D-resistant rickets

Hemoglobin gene Deletions: reduced amount causing Thalassemia

Hb Point mutations: abnormal structure causing Sickle cell anemia

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator( CFTR) mutation causingCystic fibrosis

Collagen gene mutations cause reduced amount causing Osteogenesis imperfecta; Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, etc

Fibrillin mutation causing Marfan syndrome

Dystrophin Deletion with reduced synthesis:
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy

Spectrin, ankyrin of RBC mutation: Hereditary spherocytosis

Factor VIII Deletions, insertion or nonsense mutations: reduced synthesis or abnormal factor VIII causing Hemophilia A

Rb protein Deletions causing Hereditary retinoblastoma

Neurofibromin gene mutation causing Neurofibromatosis type 1


Schematic diagram illustrating the pathogenesis of lysosomal storage diseases. In the example shown, a complex substrate is normally degraded by a series of lysosomal enzymes (A, B, and C) into soluble end products. If there is a deficiency or malfunction of one of the enzymes (e.g., B), catabolism is incomplete and insoluble intermediates accumulate in the lysosomes.

Some storage disesases

Lysosomal storage diseases

Gaucher’s disease
Niemann Pick Disease
Gangliosidosis
Sphingolipidosis
