Feline mucopolysaccharidosis VI: General ocular and pigment epithelial pathology.
Feline mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is a recessively inherited deficiency of arylsulfatase B (ASB). In the eye, the disease is expressed by the intracytoplasmic accumulation of vacuolated inclusions. These are present in connective tissue cells in the cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, choroid, and the stroma of the iris and ciliary body. In the iris and ciliary body epithelia, only the nonpigme...
متن کاملThe pathology of the feline model of mucopolysaccharidosis VI.
Three cats with feline arylsulfatase-B--deficient mucopolysaccharidosis were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Membrane-bound cytoplasmic inclusions were present in hepatocytes, bone marrow granulocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts in skin, cornea, and cardiac valves. Central nervous system lesions were restricted to mild ventricular dilatation, perithelia...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy from birth in a feline model of mucopolysaccharidosis type VI.
We report evidence of a dose responsive effect of enzyme replacement therapy in mucopolysaccharidosis type VI cats from birth, at the clinical, biochemical, and histopathological level. Cats treated with weekly, intravenous recombinant human N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase at 1 and 5 mg/kg, were heavier, more flexible, had greatly reduced or no spinal cord compression, and had almost normal u...
متن کاملMucopolysaccharidosis VI
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is a lysosomal storage disease with progressive multisystem involvement, associated with a deficiency of arylsulfatase B leading to the accumulation of dermatan sulfate. Birth prevalence is between 1 in 43,261 and 1 in 1,505,160 live births. The disorder shows a wide spectrum of symptoms from slowly to rapidly progressing forms. The characteristic skeletal dysp...
متن کاملSpinal cord compression in young children with type VI mucopolysaccharidosis.
Spinal cord compression (SCC) is a known complication of mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) secondary to atlantoaxial subluxation, craniovertebral stenosis, posterior longitudinal ligament hypertrophy, or dural thickening. SCC is expected to occur in the natural history of the disease, regardless of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), as intravenous enzyme does not cross the blood-brain barri...
