Any fluorescent lipid present at the plasma membrane was then removed by back-exchange ( 6, 8 ).[doi.org]
Importantly, while MLIV is thought to be a rare disease, its frequency may be greater than currently appreciated, for its common presentation as a cerebral palsy-like encephalopathy can lead to misdiagnosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the present study, we examined the hypothesis that the ML-IV phenotype might arise from abnormal transport along the lysosomal pathway.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Background: Mucolipidosis type IV is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease of unknown etiology. Patients develop corneal clouding, retinal degeneration, spastic quadriparesis, and mental retardation.[n.neurology.org]
The etiology of these disorders remains elusive, but evidence suggests a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors ( 353 ).[doi.org]

The demonstration of Fe 2 buildup in MLIV cells raised the possibility that TRPML1 dissipates lysosomal Fe 2 and prevents its accumulation.[biochemj.org]
Jenny explains: "Pamidronate is a synthetic compound that binds to bone to prevent absorption of bone by osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are bone cells, which break down bone tissue.[nzord.org.nz]
It was suggested that normally TRPML1 prevents overacidification in the lysosomes resulting from the catabolic activity, and thus, overacidification is caused by the malfunction of TRPML1 in MLIV.[nature.com]
