Symptoms

heme synthesis
Symptoms
Collagen synthesis
100

hypohidrosis, angiokeratomas, renal failure, peripheral neuropathy

Fabry disease

enzyme deficiency? what is accumulated?

100

central and peripheral demyelination, ataxia, dementia

metachromatic leukodystrophy

enzyme def: arylsulfatase A

accum: cerebroside sulfate

100

rate limiting step?

glycine + succinyl-coa --> ALA

ALA synthase

first step

which vitamin and medication deficiency (and anemia/inheritance) inhibits ALA synthase?

blood smear findings?

100

burton lines (blue-black line in gums), metaphyseal lines on x-ray, basophilic stippling

lead poisoning

100

main amino acid in collagen synthesis

GLYCINE (also proline and lysine)

200

Osteoporosis, AVN femoral head, lipid-laden tissue paper cytoplasm

Gaucher

enzyme deficiency: glucocerebrosidase

 accumulation: glucocerebroside

200

alpha-galactosidase A

fabry

accumulated: ceramide trihexoside

200

ALA dehydratase deficiency disease?

Lead poisoning

inhibits: ALA to porphobilinogen

lead also inhibits ferrochelatase (protoporphyrin to heme) the last step

200

pain, polyneuropathy, port wine colored urine, p450 inducers (phenytoin, barbs, sulfonamides), psychological sxs

acute intermittent porphyria

200

lack of hydroxylation of proline/lysine results in what disease?

scurvy

vitamin c required for hydroxylation

300

cherry-red macula, onion skin lysosomes, NO hepatosplenomegaly

Tay-sachs

enzyme deficiency: hexosaminidase A

accumulation: GM2-ganglioside

if we have hepatosplenomegaly which disorder would it be?

300

galactocerebrosidase

krabbe

accumulated?

300

porphobilinogen deaminase catalyzes

porphobinilogen to hydroxymethylbilane

disease?

300

blistering hyperpigmentation, photosensitivity, worsened by EtOH, hep c

porphyria cutanea tarda

tx: phlebotomy, low dose hydroxycloroquine

300

defect in GLYCOSYLATION of lysine hydroxyl groups?

osteogenesis imperfecta (which collagen type?)

400

globoid cells, oligodendrocyte destruction, optic atrophy

Krabbe disease

enzyme def: galactocerebrosidase

accumulated: galactocerebroside

400

arylsulfatase A

metachromatic leukodystrophy

accumulated: cerebroside sulfate

400

porphyria cutanea tarda deficiency?

uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase 


iron overload, hepatitis c, heavy alc consumption inhibits this enzyme

400

labs: increased iron, ferritin

decreased TIBC

sideroblastic anemia

Tx?

400

defect in disulfide cleavage and lack of tropocollagen?

Ehlers-Danlos (which collagen type?)
500

cherry-red macula, foam cells (lipid-laden macrophages), YES hepatosplenomegaly

Niemann-pick disease

enzyme def: sphingomyelinase

accum: sphingomyelin

500

hexosaminidase A

tay-sachs

accumulated?

500

defect in lysyl oxidase and cross-linking of tropocollagen? 

requires copper

Menkes disease
