Sly Disease: Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII.
A 6 month-old infant presenting with severe mitral regurgitation was found to have hepatosplenomegaly, corneal clouding, and Alder-Reilly granules in the leucocytes. Extremely low levels of beta glucuronidase confirmed the diagnosis of Sly disease (Mucopolysaccharidosis VII). This is the first case of MPS VII reported from India.
متن کاملDisappearance of lysosomal storage in spleen and liver of mucopolysaccharidosis VII mice after transplantation of genetically modified bone marrow cells.
Mice homozygous for the gusmps allele lack beta-glucuronidase activity and provide a useful model for human Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII), also known as Sly syndrome. Bone marrow (BM) transplantation was shown to correct the metabolic defect and to increase the life span of diseased animals. We have used this murine model in a preclinical study aimed at evaluating whether the techniq...
متن کاملNumerous transcriptional alterations in liver persist after short-term enzyme-replacement therapy in a murine model of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII.
The lysosomal storage disease MPS VII (mucopolysaccharidosis type VII) is caused by a deficiency in beta-glucuronidase activity, and results in the accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans in many cell types. Although MPS VII is a simple monogenetic disorder, the clinical presentation is complex and incompletely understood. ERT (enzyme replacement therapy) is relatively effective a...
متن کاملMissense models [Gustm(E536A)Sly, Gustm(E536Q)Sly, and Gustm(L175F)Sly] of murine mucopolysaccharidosis type VII produced by targeted mutagenesis.
Human mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome) results from a deficiency of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and has been associated with a wide range in severity of clinical manifestations. To study missense mutant models of murine MPS VII with phenotypes of varying severity, we used targeted mutagenesis to produce E536A and E536Q, corresponding to active-site nucleophile replacements E540A a...
متن کاملMurine Mucopolysaccharidosis Type
We have characterized a new mutant mouse that has virtually no /-glucuronidase activity. This biochemical defect causes a murine lysosomal storage disease that has many interesting similarities to human mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII; Sly syndrome; fl-glucuronidase deficiency). Genetic analysis showed that the mutation is inherited as an autosomal recessive that maps to the fl-glucuron...
