Ocular manifestations and management recommendations of lysosomal storage disorders I: mucopolysaccharidoses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by inborn errors of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) metabolism. These diseases are classified by enzyme deficiency into seven groups: type I, II, III, IV, VI, VII, and IX. GAG accumulation leads to characteristic clinical features. Some ophthalmic findings that are characteristic of MPS diseases include corneal clouding, retinal degeneration, decreased electroretinogram wave amplitude, optic atrophy, papilledema, and glaucoma. Current treatments such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy have increased the life span of many MPS patients and created the need to improve management of ocular symptoms. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of ocular manifestations and treatment options for the various types of MPS.

Management guidelines for mucopolysaccharidosis VI.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disease that is characterized by systemic clinical manifestations and significant functional impairment. Diagnosis and management are often challenging because of the considerable variability in symptom presentation and rate of progression. The optimal standard of care should be based on evidence from randomized, controll...
متن کاملOcular Features of Treatable Lysosomal Storage Disorders— Fabry Disease, Mucopolysaccharidoses I, II, and VI, and Gaucher Disease
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inheritable disorders. Although individually rare, they collectively affect approximately one in 5,000 live births. Defective metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, or lipids resulting from deficiency of one of the many lysosomal enzymes leads to pathological accumulation of substances within the lysosomes. This lysosomal accumulati...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal manifestations of mucopolysaccharidoses.
The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies that lead to progressive lysosomal storage of glycosaminoglycans. Musculoskeletal manifestations are common across all forms of MPS and are often apparent early in the disease course. Diagnostic delays occur frequently in these patients, especially those with more attenuated...

متن کاملThe Complexity of Pain Management in Children Affected by Mucopolysaccharidoses
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare, genetic lysosomal storage disorders. They are caused by deficiencies of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Pain is a common feature in mucopolysaccharidoses. However, the pathophysiology of pain in this group of diseases is still unclear and genesis of pain is multifactorial. Currently, poor data abou...
