Adenosine deaminase deficiency

The biosynthesis of purines and pyrimidines is stringently regulated and coordinated by feedback mechanisms that ensure their production in quantities and at times appropriate to varying physiologic demand. Genetic diseases of purine metabolism include gout, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, adenosine deaminase deficiency, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency. By contrast, apart from the orotic acidurias, there are few clinically significant disorders of pyrimidine catabolism. [Pg.293]

Adenosine deaminase deficiency is associated with an immunodeficiency disease in which both thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells) and bone marrow-derived lymphocytes (B cells) are sparse and dysfunctional. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency is associated with a severe deficiency of T cells but apparently normal B cell function. Immune dysfunctions appear to result from accumulation of dGTP and dATP, which inhibit ribonucleotide reductase and thereby deplete cells of DNA precursors. [Pg.300]

Gene engineering is the basis of gene therapy where genes are removed, replaced, or altered producing new proteins for the treatment of diseases such as muscular dystrophy, some cancers, adenosine deaminase deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema. [Pg.333]

The answer is D. Impaired immune function in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is the direct result of blocked DNA synthesis due to inadequate supplies of de-oxyribonucleotides in B and T cells. This effect arises by dATP-induced allosteric inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase, which catalyzes reduction of the 2 -hydroxyl groups on ADP and GDP to form dADP and dCDP. The ultimate cause of many cases of SCID is adenosine deaminase deficiency, which leads to accumulation of dATP and consequent inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase. Although the other enzymes mentioned are also involved in purine nucleotide metabolism, their deficiencies do not lead to SCID. [Pg.149]

Mutation in the adenosine deaminase gene on chromosome 20 can cause severe combined immunodeficiency due to absence of T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (T cell-negative, B cell-negative, natural killer cell-negative autosomal recessive SCID). The lack of the enzyme adenosine deminase results in the accumulation of adenosine and toxic deoxyadenosine nucleotides. The latter can cause apoptosis of lymphocytes. Lymphocyte counts can be as low as 0.5 x 10 /L, affecting primarily T cells which are absent (105). While therapy of missing enzyme has been shown to effect improvement, bone marrow transplantation is the preferred treatment. Milder forms of adenosine deaminase deficiency have been reported (116). [Pg.258]

F. Role in therapy According to Micromedex, the goal of therapy with Adagen is to correct immune function by reversal of the biochemical abnormalities caused by adenosine deaminase deficiency. Adagen s role in therapy at this time would appear to be as an alternative when bone marrow transplantation is not feasible or has been unsuccessful. It may also be considered in lieu of transplantation in milder cases of adenosine deaminase deficiency. Adagen is preferable to red cell transfusions in these patients. While regular administration of Adagen can improve immune function and reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections in patients with ADA-deficient SCID, it is of no value in patients with immunodeficiency due to other causes. [Pg.259]

Gene therapy holds great promise for the treatment of many diseases (e.g., cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, adenosine deaminase deficiency, cardiovascular diseases, Gaucher disease, a 1-antitrypsin deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, and several others) (1,2). Advances in genomics and molecular biology have revealed that almost all diseases have a genetic component. In some cases, such as cystic fibrosis or hemophilia,... [Pg.333]

Volume III, Pharmacology and Therapy, addresses developments in basic science, translational and clinical research that are underway to bring stem cell research to therapy, particularly for the treatment of Batten s diseases, graft-versus-host disease and adenosine deaminase deficiency.
