About Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD)

Historically known as Niemann-Pick disease types A, A/B and B, acid sphingomyelinase deficiency is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disease. It is estimated that there are fewer than 120 patients in the U.S. diagnosed with ASMD; the majority are children. ASMD is caused by the lack of an enzyme needed to break down a complex lipid, called sphingomyelin, in cells. This can lead to a buildup of sphingomyelin in the liver, spleen, lungs, and brain. Signs and symptoms of ASMD can appear in infancy, childhood, or adulthood, and may include enlarged spleen or liver, breathing issues, lung infections, unusual bruising or bleeding due to low platelet count, as well as pain, vomiting, feeding difficulties and falls caused by an enlarged abdomen.

About Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (C2LN)

Ceroid lipofuscinosis 2 (CLN2) is one of a group of rare genetic disorders called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), commonly known as Batten disease. CLN2, specifically, is a type of lysosomal storage disorder, in which individuals lack a specific enzyme that breaks down macromolecules such as lipids (fats) and proteins in intracellular compartments called lysosomes, which causes undegraded material to accumulate in neurons and other cells and leads to impaired cell function and neurodegeneration.

About Cyclin-dependent Kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) Deficiency Disorder

CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a serious and rare genetic disorder caused by a cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene mutation. The CDKL5 gene is located on the X chromosome and is responsible for processing essential proteins for normal brain function and neuron development. CDD affects 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 newborns, primarily females, and is characterized by early-onset, difficult-to-control seizures and severe neuro-developmental impairment. Many children diagnosed with CDD also experience scoliosis, visual impairment, sensory problems, gastrointestinal difficulties, and sleeping disorders. Most CDKL5 gene mutations are “de novo,” meaning that they occur spontaneously and are not passed down through families.

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic, progressive form of muscular dystrophy that occurs primarily in males. It is caused by genetic changes in the DMD gene and is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. X-linked means the gene for the condition is located on the X-chromosome. In males, one altered copy of the gene is enough to cause DMD. DMD causes progressive weakness and muscle atrophy. In early signs of the disease, DMD may cause a delayed ability to sit, stand, or walk, and can make learning to speak difficult for the patient.

About Fabry disease

Fabry disease belongs to a group of diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders. It is a rare inherited disorder of lipid (fat) metabolism which results from the deficient activity of the enzyme, alpha-galactosidase A (a-Gal A). This leads to a buildup of a particular type of fat in the body’s cells, called globotriaosylceramide or GL-3, that affects many parts of the body. Signs and symptoms may include episodes of pain, particularly in the hands and feet, clusters of small, dark red spots on the skin, a decreased ability to sweat, cloudiness of the front part of the eye and hearing loss. Complications such as progressive kidney damage, heart attack, and stroke can be life-threatening.

About Huntington’s Disease Chorea

Huntington’s disease chorea is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary, jerky movements known as chorea. This hereditary condition results from a mutation in the HTT gene, leading to the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. Chorea involves random, uncontrollable muscle contractions, affecting coordination and voluntary movements. As Huntington’s disease advances, it causes cognitive decline, emotional disturbances, and impaired motor skills. The relentless nature of chorea significantly impacts an individual’s quality of life, requiring comprehensive support and care.

About Infantile Spasms

Infantile spasms, also known as West Syndrome, is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that typically manifests in the first year of life. Characterized by brief, sudden muscle contractions or spasms, often resembling a startle reflex, this condition is challenging to diagnose. Infantile spasms can lead to developmental regression and cognitive impairment. The underlying causes vary, including structural brain abnormalities or genetic factors. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for better outcomes, as prompt treatment may help control seizures and mitigate the potential impact on the child’s cognitive and developmental abilities.

About Mucopolysaccharidosis Types I, II, VI, VII, IVA

Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of inherited metabolic conditions in which the body either does not produce enough enzymes required to break down sugars into simpler molecules, or the body produces enzymes that do not work properly. Over time, molecules called glycosaminoglycans (sugar carbohydrates in each of our cells that help build bone, cartilage, tendons, corneas, skin, and connective tissue) collect in the cells, blood, and connective tissues, resulting in permanent, progressive cellular damage. The cellular damage affects the appearance, physical abilities, organ and system functioning, as well as cognitive development.  Several different clinical types of Mucopolysaccharidosis have been identified: MPS I also known as Hurler, Hurler-Scheie, and Scheie; MPS II also known as Hunter syndrome; MPS III also known as Sanfilippo syndrome; MPS IV also known as Morquio syndrome; MPS VI also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome; MPS VII also known as Sly syndrome; and ​MPS IX also known as Natowicz syndrome.

About Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC)

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an ultra-rare, progressive, and neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by an inability of the body to transport cholesterol and other lipids within the cell, leading to an accumulation of these substances in various cell types, including neurons. The disease is caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes, which are responsible for making the NPC1 and NPC2 lysosomal proteins. Both children and adults can be affected by NPC with varying clinical presentations. Those living with NPC can lose independence due to physical and cognitive limitations, with key neurological impairments presenting in speech, cognition, swallowing, ambulation, and fine motor skills. Disease diagnosis can often take years, with disease progression being irreversible and often leading to early mortality.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease that affects the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and voluntary muscle movement, also known as skeletal muscle. A majority of the nerve cells that control muscles are located in the spinal cord, and when the patient’s muscles do not receive signals from those nerve cells, this results in their muscles getting smaller. The cause of spinal muscular atrophy is due to a missing gene that encodes the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which is critical to the health and survival of the nerve cells in the spinal cord responsible for muscle contraction (motor neurons). SMA occurs in nearly 1 in 11,000 births in the United States. The age when SMA symptoms begin tends to correlate with the severity to which motor function is affected.

About Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)

Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological movement disorder typically characterized by repetitive involuntary movements of the jaw, lips, and tongue, and some individuals experience involuntary rapid jerking movements or slow, writhing movements in the arms and legs. The condition is a result of long-term use of certain types of neuroleptics, such as antipsychotics or major tranquilizers.

About Transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis – Polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN)

Polyneuropathy of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-PN) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal transthyretin protein in peripheral nerves and organs. This leads to progressive damage to the nervous system, causing polyneuropathy with symptoms like sensory loss, muscle weakness, and autonomic dysfunction.
