Abstract

Pompe, Gaucher, Fabry and MPS are lysosomal disorders. The new era of enzyme replace therapy (ERT) changed the prognosis of these diseases. Is important to diagnose as soon as possible to reduce the risk of a fatal evolution. We used dried blood spot samples in patients with 2 criteria of one of these diseases during a period of one year. We screened 18 cases (Pompe: 13, MPS 1: 3, Gaucher: 2, Fabry: 0). In our first year experience we confirmed a case of MPS 1 and a Pompe disease.

Keywords: dried blood spot, lysosomal storage disease.
