Acute Gaucher Disease-Like Condition in an Indian Infant with a Novel Biallelic Mutation in the Prosaposin Gene

Abstract: This is the first reported case of prosaposin (PSAP) mutation from India manifesting as an acute neuronal Gaucher disease-like condition. A 2-month-old male baby presented with encephalopathy, resistant tonic–clonic seizures, moderate hepatosplenomegaly, hypotonia, and cherry red spot in the retinae. The child had anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated chitotriosidase, and normal activity of acid sphingomyelinase and low normal activity of β-glucosidase 1 (β-glucocerebrosidase 1, GBA). The child succumbed in the f… Show more

“…2d,f,g). Given the screen phenotypes of PSAP, which were unexpected based on its known functions, and the association of PSAP variants not only with lysosomal storage disorders [60][61][62] but also Parkinson's Disease 63 , we decided to further investigate the underlying mechanisms of PSAP in neuronal redox regulation.…”
