Enzyme-replacement therapy offers a theoretical treatment for enzyme deficiency diseases. However, its broad application is limited, facing challenges beyond digestive disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Enzyme deficiencies cause various diseases.
  • Dietary or drug therapies are insufficient for many of these conditions.
  • Enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) is a potential treatment strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the challenges and future potential of ERT.
  • To explore ERT for genetic disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies.
  • To assess ERT's applicability beyond current uses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of enzyme-replacement therapy.
  • Analysis of current applications and limitations.
  • Exploration of theoretical disease targets.

Main Results:

  • ERT is effective for some digestive disorders.
  • Broad clinical application of ERT remains limited.
  • Significant challenges hinder wider ERT implementation.

Conclusions:

  • ERT holds promise for treating enzyme deficiency disorders.
  • Overcoming current obstacles is crucial for expanding ERT.
  • Further research is needed to realize ERT's full potential.
