Article Abstract

Alpha-mannosidosis (AM) is an ultrarare multisystemic disorder caused by alpha-mannosidase deficiency. This is the first comprehensive report on AM in Brazil, analyzing clinical and laboratory data from 14 patients diagnosed between 2001 and 2021. We summarize the patient diagnostic journey in the country, including the most common presenting symptoms, the time from disease onset to diagnosis and discuss other disease manifestations. Our findings may improve the disease awareness and understanding in the country.

Previous research suggests that concurrent use of omeprazole with fluconazole, a potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19/3A4 inhibitor, may increase the risk of myopathy. However, the contribution of genetic polymorphisms in CYP enzymes remains unclear.

Serum prostate-specific antigen is a frequently employed biomarker in the diagnosis and risk stratification of prostate cancer; however, it is known for its low predictive accuracy for disease progression. New prognostic biomarkers are needed to distinguish aggressive prostate cancer from low-risk disease.
