[Hereditary lysosomal storage diseases (author's transl)]. 1979

C Rutgers, and E Gruys

The literature on hereditary lysosomal storage diseases occurring in man and various domestic animals is reviewed. These forms of disease are usually recessively autosomally heritable and are reflected in partial or total deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, resulting in accumulation of metabolites. The majority of these lysosomal storage diseases show a predilection for localization in the nervous system. As a rule, the main clinical features are neurological symptoms. The first symptoms are usually observed at an early age and the disease is marked by the fact that it is familial in character. Heterozygotes may be identified by controlled haematological studies in a number of these diseases. In domestic animals, these forms of disease may serve as models for human pathology and some may be of economic importance, such as mannosidosis of Angus cattle in New Zealand and GM1 gangliosidosis of Friesian cattle in Ireland.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome

D001947 Breeding The production of offspring by selective mating or HYBRIDIZATION, GENETIC in animals or plants. Breedings
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
