Descriptor fucosidosis
Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de fucosidasa
Scope note: Enfermedad de almacenamiento lisosómico, autosómica recesiva, producida por deficiencia de la actividad de la ALFA-L-FUCOSIDASA que lleva a acumulación de ESFINGOLIPIDOS que contienen fucosa, GLICOPROTEÍNAS y mucopolisacáridos (GLICOSAMINOGLICANOS) en los lisosomas. La forma infantil (tipo I) se caracteriza por deterioro psicomotor, ESPASTICIDAD MUSCULAR, características faciales rudas, retraso del crecimiento, anomalías esqueléticas, visceromegalia, CONVULSIONES, infecciones recurrentes y MACROGLOSIA; la muerte se produce en la primera década de la vida. La fucosidosis juvenil (tipo II) es la variante más común y se caracteriza por una pérdida lentamente progresiva de la función neurológica y angioqueratoma corporal difuso. La supervivencia del tipo II puede ser hasta la cuarta década de la vida. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p87; Am J Med Genet 1991 Jan;38(1):111-31)

Scope note: An autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of ALPHA-L-FUCOSIDASE activity resulting in an accumulation of fucose containing SPHINGOLIPIDS; GLYCOPROTEINS, and mucopolysaccharides (GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS) in lysosomes. The infantile form (type I) features psychomotor deterioration, MUSCLE SPASTICITY, coarse facial features, growth retardation, skeletal abnormalities, visceromegaly, SEIZURES, recurrent infections, and MACROGLOSSIA, with death occurring in the first decade of life. Juvenile fucosidosis (type II) is the more common variant and features a slowly progressive decline in neurologic function and angiokeratoma corporis diffusum. Type II survival may be through the fourth decade of life. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p87; Am J Med Genet 1991 Jan;38(1):111-31)
