Lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) are inherited disorders caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzymes in which early diagnosis is essential to provide timely treatment. This study reports interval values for the activity of lysosomal enzymes that are deficient in Mucopolysaccharidosis type I, Fabry, Gaucher and Pompe disease, using dried blood spots on filter paper (DBS) samples in a Brazilian population.
Reference activity values were obtained from healthy volunteers samples for alpha-galactosidase A (4.57 ± 1.37 umol/L/h), beta-glucosidase (3.06 ± 0.99 umol/L/h), alpha-glucosidase (ratio: 13.19 ± 4.26; % inhibition: 70.66 ± 7.60), alpha-iduronidase (3.45 ± 1.21 umol/L/h) and beta-galactosidase (14.09 ± 4.36 umol/L/h).
Reference values of five lysosomal enzymes were determined for a Brazilian population sample. However, as our results differ from other laboratories, it highlights the importance of establishing specific reference values for each center.
溶酶体贮积症(LSD)是由溶酶体酶缺乏引起的遗传性疾病,早期诊断对于及时治疗至关重要。本研究报告了使用滤纸干血斑(DBS)样本在巴西人群中缺乏黏多糖贮积症 I 型、法布里病、戈谢病和庞贝病的溶酶体酶活性的间隔值。
从健康志愿者样本中获得了α-半乳糖苷酶 A(4.57 ± 1.37 umol/L/h)、β-葡萄糖苷酶(3.06 ± 0.99 umol/L/h)、α-葡萄糖苷酶(比值:13.19 ± 4.26;%抑制:70.66 ± 7.60)、α-艾杜糖苷酶(3.45 ± 1.21 umol/L/h)和β-半乳糖苷酶(14.09 ± 4.36 umol/L/h)的参考活性值。
为巴西人群样本确定了五种溶酶体酶的参考值。然而,由于我们的结果与其他实验室不同,因此强调了为每个中心建立特定参考值的重要性。
