Cardiac disease as the presenting feature of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Severe cardiac involvement is a common feature of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), but occurs only rarely in MPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome). We report herein a case of MPS III-A having cardiac involvement as its first manifestation. Analysis of the SGSH gene showed homozygosity for the novel mutation p.G80V. We propose that MPS disorders, including MPS III-A, should be included in the differential diagnosis of every case of cardiomyopathy presenting during the first year of life.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC (MPSIIIC) is a rare subtype of mucopolysaccharidosis disorder family caused by mutations in heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT) gene. MPSIIIC is subdivided into four subtypes which have overlapping features, and are indistinguishable at clinical level. In populations with high consanguineous marriage rate, homozygosity mapping can be a good c...
