Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate institute of medical science created history by being the first institute in the state to administer free of cost enzyme replacement therapy to three children with a rare genetic disorder,Gaucher disease under the national policy of rare disease, 2021.
Gaucher disease is a rare and debilitating genetic disorder where the lack of enzyme to breakdown a key lipid substance, glucocerebroside due to a genetic variant in the affected individuals leads to accumulation of glucocerebroside in various organs, bones and brain resulting in symptoms such as anemia,bone pain, organomegaly and growth failure. This disorder affects 1 in 40,000 live births and like many genetic disorders was untreatable until 2010 when enzyme replacement therapy velaglucerase was approved. But it’s extremely high cost made it impossible for this therapy to be used for Indian patients.
However, under national policy of rare disease 2021, government approved free treatment for a selected group of disorders such as Gaucher disease. This step marks a significant leap forward for patients who couldn’t afford the therapy despite availability. This step will benefit 18 children with rare disease in SGPGIMS who have Gaucher disease, spinal muscular atrophy, tyrosinemia and hereditary angioedema.
Three patients were administered the enzyme on 10th October and eight more will be admitted on 11th October. Director of SGPGIMS, Dr R K Dhiman, Head of Cardiology Dr Aditya Kapoor and Head of the department Dr S R Phadke commemorated the event by distributing sweets to the children and requested the parents to strictly follow the treatment. Dr S R Phadke who has been treating these children for the last 30 years said that the enzyme therapy drastically improves the quality of life of these children and reduces the progression of the disease. Two patients who were receiving this therapy under a charitable program and had become asymptomatic and leading normal life were also present to encourage the parents to adhere to the therapy.
Dr Amita Moirangthem, Associate professor along with resident doctor Pooja and Niladari were monitoring the infusion of the medicine.These children would receive the infusion every two weeks under the meticulous care of the nursing staff and doctors of the department of medical genetics. Parents were very grateful for the efforts of the doctors, SGPGIMS and the government and said that the provision of treatment brings hope for individuals with other rare genetic disorder.
