Enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome): experience in Hong Kong.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a very rare inherited lysosomal storage disease. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of weekly infusions of recombinant human arylsulfatase B as enzyme replacement therapy for two patients in whom this condition was advanced. The primary outcome variables were the distance walked in a 6-minute walk test, forced vital capacity, and ejection ...
متن کاملMolecular findings of Colombian patients with type VI mucopolysaccharidosis (Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome)
INTRODUCTION Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type VI, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficient activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB), required to degrade dermatan sulfate. The onset and progression of the disease vary, producing a spectrum of clinical presentation. So far, 133 mutations have been reported. The aim of this study is...
متن کاملValvular heart disease in four patients with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome.
BACKGROUND Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a lysosomal storage disease of mucopolysaccharide metabolism (MPS type VI) that may involve the mitral and aortic valves. Affected patients have other skeletal and oropharyngeal malformations that complicate anesthetic and surgical management. METHODS AND RESULTS The present report describes the clinical, echocardiographic, and pathological findings in fo...
متن کاملClinical utility of endurance measures for evaluation of treatment in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome).
Increased functional capacity of major organ systems improves the quality of life and contributes to reductions in the morbidity associated with chronic debilitating diseases. Routine endurance tests can be used to gauge the progression of disease and the impact of therapeutic modalities in disorders with multiple organ system involvement such as with Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI). MPS...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome.
Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome exhibits deficient activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase-B in cultured skin fibroblasts. Prenatal diagnosis was successfully attempted in two pregnancies of a consanguineous Chaldean couple whose first child is affected with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. In both instances, deficient arylsulfatase-B activity was observed in amniotic fluid cell cultures, and the diagnosis was co...
