چکیده

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI is an inheritable lysosomal storage disorder that is often associated with severe orthopedic problems such as hip dysplasia, spinal deformities, and deformities in the skull, knees and hands. We describe the progression and management of three MPS VI cases with focus on their orthopedic problems.

Identification of a Novel Arylsulfatase B Gene Mutation in Three Unrelated Iranian Mucopolysaccharidosis Type-VI Patients with Different Phenotype Severity

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type-VI (MPS-VI), which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, results from the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) activity and the lysosomal accumulation of dermatan sulfate. In this study, ARSB mutation analysis was performed on three unrelated patients who were originally from the West Azerbaijan province of Iran. Method...

Mutational analysis of ARSB gene in mucopolysaccharidosis type VI: identification of three novel mutations in Iranian patients

Objective(s): Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a rare metabolic disorder, resulting from the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB).  The enzymatic defect of ARSB leads to progressive lysosomal storage disorder and accumulation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) dermatan sulfate (DS), which causes harmful effects on various organs and tissues an...

Combined Enzyme Replacement Therapy and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Mucopolysacharidosis Type VI.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a lysosomal storage disorder with progressive, multisystem involvement caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase leading to accumulation of the glycosaminoglycan, keratan sulfate. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been shown to clinically benefit affected individuals. A combined treatment regime of...

Sensory-motor behavioral characterization of an animal model of Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (or Mucopolysaccharidosis VI)

Maroteaux-Lamy disease, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI, is an MPS disorder caused by mutations in the ARSB gene encoding for the lysosomal enzyme arysulfatase B (ARSB). Deficient ARSB activity leads to lysosomal accumulation of dermatan sulfate in a wide range of tissues and organs. There are various animal models of MPS VI that have been well characterized from a biochemical and ...

Visual Dysfunction of Type I and VI Mucopolysaccharidosis Patients Evaluated with Visual Evoked Cortical Potential

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual system of patients suffering from type I or VI mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) by recording the visual evoked cortical potential (VECP). METHODS Two patients with MPS VI and 2 patients with MPS I were tested before and after enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). A control group of 20 subjects was tested for statistical comparison. VECP was elicited by monocular stimulat...
