Background:

  • Focuses on genetic disorders of metal metabolism: genetic hemochromatosis and Wilson disease.
  • Examines Gaucher disease, a common lysosomal storage disorder with available recombinant enzyme replacement therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent discoveries in the genetics and metabolism of hemochromatosis, Wilson disease, and Gaucher disease.
  • To discuss the impact of gene discovery on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  • To explore emerging treatment modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of genetic disorders of metal metabolism and lysosomal storage disorders.
  • Analysis of gene discovery and its implications for pathophysiology.
  • Evaluation of current and developing therapeutic strategies.
