Two clinically distinct disorders, Wolman disease (WD) and cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD), are allelic autosomal recessive disorders caused by different mutations in lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) which encodes for an essential enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of intracellular cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. We describe a case of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in an infant with WD and report on a novel mutation type, intragenic deletion.
两种临床表现不同的疾病,即沃曼病(WD)和胆固醇酯贮积症(CESD),是由溶酶体酸性脂肪酶(LIPA)的不同突变引起的常染色体隐性遗传疾病,LIPA 编码一种参与细胞内胆固醇酯和三酰甘油水解的必需酶。我们描述了一例 WD 婴儿的溶酶体酸性脂肪酶缺乏症病例,并报告了一种新的突变类型,即基因内缺失。
