Disease relevance of Angiokeratoma

 

High impact information on Angiokeratoma

  • Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum with glycopeptiduria is a recently recognized inborn error of glycoprotein catabolism resulting from the deficient activity of human alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (E.C. 3.2.1.49; alpha-GalNAc) [6].
  • Skin examination showed numerous angiokeratoma, which had developed only on the right part of the body, with a sharp delineation in the midline of the trunk [7].
  • Fabry disease (FD) (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum) is an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by defects in the lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A gene (GLA) [8].
  • We report a 29-year-old woman who had prominent cutaneous markers of tuberous sclerosis, with subependymal nodules and renal cysts on computerized tomographic scan, who also showed multiple angiokeratomas widely distributed on the buttocks and posterior thighs [9].
  • Carbon-dioxide laser is a known alternative for treating angiokeratomas [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Angiokeratoma

  • Of note, the characterization of the glycopeptide excretion profiles in patients with alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency and angiokeratoma corporis diffusum with glycopeptiduria revealed essentially identical patterns, indicating the metabolic relatedness of these two phenotypically distinct conditions [11].
  • Angiokeratoma Fordyce of the glans penis: combined treatment with erbium: YAG and 532 nm KTP (frequency doubled neodynium: YAG) laser [12].
  • A female case of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum without systemic involvement, with alpha-galactosidase A activity in the normal range, alpha-L-fucosidase in the lower levels of the normal range, and a few amount of urinary sialic acid is reported [13].
