Q

Pompe Disease

Study These Flashcards
A

GSD II: Acid Maltase aka Acid a-glucosidase Deficiency

  • impairs lysosomal glycogenolysis –> accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes
  • heart problems
18
Q

Cori Disease

Study These Flashcards
A

GSD III: Debranching Enzyme Deficiency (a-1,6-glucosidase)

  • cannot break glycogen a-1,6 branches –> a lot of short branched glycogen
  • light hypoglycemia and hepatomegaly
19
Q

Niemann-Pick Disease

Study These Flashcards
A

Deficiency in A-SMase (Acid Sphingomyelinase)

  • A-SMase (lysosomal enzyme) is responsible for breaking down sphingomyelin into ceramide + phosphorylcholine
  • accumulation of SM in lysosomes of liver, spleen, CNS and bone marrow
  • hallmark = “CHERRY RED SPOT”
20
Q

Erythroblastosis Fetalis

Study These Flashcards
A

Disease in which there is incompatibility between the blood of mother and fetus
-Rh antigen

21
Q

Spur Cell Anemia

Study These Flashcards
A

Type of hemolytic anemia

  • Elevated levels of cholesterol in the membranes of RBC’s which causes increased rigidity/decreased fluidity in the RBC’s
  • causes acanthocytes = spikes in RBC’s –> susceptible to bursting when circulating in capillaries
22
Q

Cystinuria

Study These Flashcards
A

Defect in transporter responsible for uptake of:

  • Cystine +Arginine, Lysine, Ornithine
  • Cystine crystals in kidneys = kidney stones
  • renal cholic (abdominal pain due to crystals)
  • crystals are clear when inside therefore hard to detect until they are passed in urine = painful
23
Q

Hartnup Disease

Study These Flashcards
A

Tryptophan uptake deficiency + Non-polar/Neutral Amino Acids - transporter found in liver and kidneys

  • Tryptophan = important for serotonin, melatonin, and niacin
  • photosensitivity, cerebellar ataxia, photo dermatitis
  • pellagra (3D’s)
24
Q

Cardiotonic Drugs

Study These Flashcards
A

i. e. oubain + digoxin (cardiac glycosides)
- induce contraction in the heart
- inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase in cardiac myocytes which in turn inhibits NCX (Na+-Ca2+ Exchanger) because they are coupled, therefore Ca2+ builds up inside the cell –> increases contractile force of cardiac muscle cells
- used to treat CHF, AFib, etc.

25
Cystic Fibrosis
Mutation in CFTR gene (Cystic Fibrosis Transmbn Conductance Regulator gene) - CFTR = a transporter for Cl- - deficiency in this transporter causes Cl- to remain inside the epithelial cells of the airways which is compensated by Na+ coming in to form NaCl (salt), which in turns causes H2O to flood in from the mucosal cells --> thickening of mucosal cells --> susceptible to bacterial infections
26
MCAD Deficiency
Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency - Impairs breakdown of Medium Chain Fatty Acid - accumulation in liver - interferes with urea cycle, elevated levels of ammonia - patients depend on glucose from diet since unable to break down fatty acids - hypoglycemia - gluconeogenesis = impaired because low activity of PC (b/c low ATP and Acetyl-CoA levels) - Treatment = avoid b-oxidation
27
Homocystinura
- Vitamin deficiencies in B6, B12 or cystathionine b-synthase - caused by increased Methionine --> Homocysteine --> Homocystine - osteoporisis, mental retardation, eye lens dislocation
28
Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)
Deficiency in BCKD (branched-Chain a-keto acid Dehydrogenase Complex) - inability to break down BCAA's (branched-chain amino acids - i.e. valine, isoleucine, leucine) - sweet smelling urine, toxic effects on brain --> mental retardation
29
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Deficiency in PAH (PhenylAlanine Hydroxylase) * most common IEM = inborn error of metabolism* - Phenylalaine cannot be converted to Tyrosine, instead converted to phenylpyruvate --> phenyllactate + phenylacetate - musty odor smelled urine (from phenyllactate) - blocks N.T.s in brain because made from Tyrosine - secondary PKU --> BH4 deficiency
30
Albinism
Deficiency in Tyrosinase | -inability to for tyrosine to convert to melanin (pigmentation)
31
Ammonia Toxicity
Excessive ammonia due to a defect in the urea cycle - NH3 has toxic effects (in comparison to NH4+) because it can easily permeate membranes (unlike NH4+ because it's charged) - causes pH imbalance, swelling in brain --> edema - mitochondrial dysfunction
32
Urea Cycle + High Protein Diet
A high protein diet increases the production of urea, whereas a high carb diet will decrease urea production
33
CK-MB
Cardioselective isoform of Creatine Kinase - Creatine is made from 3 A.A.'s 1. Arginine 2. Glycine 3. Methionine
34
Methotrexate
``` Targets DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) which converts folate --> THF -Blocks PRA --> IMP ```
35
Orotic Acidura
UMP Synthetase deficiency - inability for Orotate --> UMP (using PRPP) - buildup of orotate
36
"Sulfa" Drugs
Bacterial agents that inhibit the bacterial enzyme that incorporates PABA into folate - selective to bacteria - humans acquire folate from diet
37
SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)
Deficiency in Adenosine Deaminase - inability to convert Adenosine --> Inosine - B/T-cells compromised - think "Bubble Boy"
38
Gout
Overproduction of Xanthine Oxidase - inability to convert Xanthine --> Urate (uric acid) - buildup of uric acid --> gout - high purine diets --> cause increase uric acid - Treament = Allopurinol --> inhibits xanthine oxidase - Treament = increased purines hypoxanthine and guanine
39
Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome (Kelley-Seegmiller Syndrome)
Deficiency in HGPRT (Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase) - inability to convert Guanine/Hypoxanthine --> GMP or IMP - self-mutilation, severe effects like cerebral palsy
40
Acyclovir
Undergoes phosphorylation by a viral thymidine kinase --> monophosphate acyclovir-GMP and then incorporates it into the viral DNA --> messes up viral DNA replication
