Could lysosomal acid lipase enzyme activity be used for clinical follow-up in cryptogenic cirrhosis?

Turkish journal of medical sciences | 2022

Cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) is one of the rare causes that should be kept in mind in the etiology of cirrhosis. Recent studies detected that significantly reduced lysosomal acid lipase deficiency enzyme (LAL) in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis (CC). Moreover, studies have evaluated that LAL activity is as effective as scoring systems in assessing the severity of cirrhosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the CESD with LAL level and mutation analysis of LIPA gene in patients diagnosed with CC and to compare LAL activities between patients with CC and healthy volunteers.

Primer-BLAST (tool)

RRID:SCR_003095

A tool to design target-specific primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It uses Primer3 to design PCR primers and then uses BLAST and global alignment algorithm to screen primers against user-selected database in order to avoid primer pairs (all combinations including forward-reverse primer pair, forward-forward as well as reverse-reverse pairs) that can cause non-specific amplifications.

ClinVar (tool)

RRID:SCR_006169

Archive of aggregated information about sequence variation and its relationship to human health. Provides reports of relationships among human variations and phenotypes along with supporting evidence. Submissions from clinical testing labs, research labs, locus-specific databases, expert panels and professional societies are welcome. Collects reports of variants found in patient samples, assertions made regarding their clinical significance, information about submitter, and other supporting data. Alleles described in submissions are mapped to reference sequences, and reported according to HGVS standard.
