What is muscle Phosphorylase Deficiency and what are the treatments?


Can the patient buy alesse 21 one month at a time supply?



Answers:
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency is a rare inherited disease accounting for approximately 4% of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency.


Many different therapies have been utilized for PNP deficiency including bone marrow transplantation, red cell transfusions, and supplementation of the diet with purines and pyrimidines. None of these therapies has been consistently successful. In light of the poor prognosis for PNP deficiency, bone marrow transplantation should be considered for all patients. In the future, improved forms of therapy such as gene therapy may become available
