Case report: The spectrum of SMPD1 pathogenic variants in Hungary

2023-06-06

This article reports the first description of all six diagnosed acid sphingomyelinase deficiency cases in Hungary.

ASMD

SMPD1 expression profile and mutation landscape help decipher genotype-phenotype association and precision diagnosis for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

2023-03-13

This study is the first to elucidate the effects of SMPD1 mutation on cell types and at the tissue level, which provides new insights into the genotype-phenotype association and can help in the precise diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD).

ASMD

Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency: The clinical spectrum of 2 patients who carry the Q294K mutation and diagnostic challenges

2022-07-19

Two case studies are presented, which illustrate the spectrum of disease in patients with a compound heterozygous Q294K pathogenic variant and the impact of false normal ASM activity results.

ASMD

A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating olipudase alfa enzyme replacement therapy for chronic ASMD in adults: Oneyear results

2022-04-26

In individuals with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), olipudase alfa was well tolerated and associated with meaningful and wide-ranging improvements in disease pathology and clinically relevant endpoints compared to placebo.

ASMD

Prospective study of the natural history of chronic acid sphingomyelinase deficiency in children and adults: Eleven years of observation

2021-10-27

This prospective, multi-center, multinational longitudinal study aimed to characterize the clinical features of chronic forms of ASMD and disease burden over time in children and adults.

ASMD

One-year results of a clinical trial of olipudase alfa enzyme replacement therapy in pediatric patients with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

2021-08-23

In this study in children with chronic ASMD, olipudase alfa was generally well-tolerated with significant, comprehensive improvements in disease pathology across a range of clinically relevant endpoints.

ASMD

Acid Sphingomyelinase, a Lysosomal and Secretory Phospholipase C, Is Key for Cellular Phospholipid Catabolism

2021-08-20

In this article, the biochemical characteristics of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), their potential effect on cellular lipid turnover, as well as a potential impact on physiological processes are discussed.

GAUCHER

Interstitial lung disease in lysosomal storage disorders

2021-04-29

Early diagnosis for lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) is crucial to prevent irreversible organ damage. Early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) can, at least in part, prevent organ failure.

ASMD

Oral, dental, and craniofacial features in chronic acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

2020-12-01

Individuals with chronic ASMD have considerable alterations in their oral health, including a higher prevalence of dental abnormalities, caries, periodontal disease, and skeletal changes, in addition to various systemic indications.

NIEMANN-PICK

Long-term efficacy of olipudase alfa in adults with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD)

2020-09-01

This is a 26-week phase 1b trial of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with olipudase alfa, which was followed by a long-term extension study. 5 adult patients with chronic visceral ASMD were enrolled in this trial. The findings show that hepatic clearance of sphingomyelin during olipudase alfa treatment for 42 months is associated with overall lipid profile improvements in ASMD patients.

ASMD

Biochemical and imaging parameters in acid sphingomyelinase deficiency: Potential utility as biomarkers

2020-05-15

In this review, clinically important endpoints as well as biochemical and imaging markers of ASMD are discussed and potential new biomarkers are identified.

ASMD

Disease manifestations and burden of illness in patients with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD)

2017-02-23

While knowledge about ASMD is evolving, more evidence about ASMD and the natural history across the disease spectrum is needed, to improve disease recognition, timely diagnosis and appropriate disease management.
