Enzyme replacement therapy in Hurler syndrome after failure of hematopoietic transplant
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most severe form of Mucopolysaccharosidosis type I (MPS-I), Hurler syndrome, presents with progressive respiratory, cardiac and musculoskeletal symptoms and cognitive deterioration. Treatment includes enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We describe the case of an 8-year old boy with MPS-I, homozygous for W402X, treated at 10 months of age with HSCT and after failure of the transplant, with ERT during 2 years showing good results, including a positive neuropsychological development.

Progression of organ manifestations upon enzyme replacement therapy in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type I/Hurler.
BACKGROUND Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been increasingly used as an interim treatment in severe mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPSI)/Hurler patients prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS We present the outcome of a patient with MPSI/Hurler after 14 months of ERT prior to HSCT. RESULTS Urinary glucosaminoglycan excretion decreased by 70% after one month of ...

Better understanding of disease pathophysiology, improved supportive care and availability of disease-specific treatments for some of the mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) disorders have greatly improved the outlook for patients with MPS disorders. Optimal management of these multisystemic disorders involves a multidisciplinary team and regular, comprehensive follow-up. Enzyme replacement therapy (ER...
متن کاملα-L-iduronidase therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type I
More than 500 patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IH (MPS IH; Hurler syndrome) have been treated with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) throughout the world since the introduction of transplantation as therapy almost 30 years ago. More recently, the availability of recombinant alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) has resulted in the widespread treatment of less severe forms of MPS I with enzy...
متن کاملMixed donor chimerism and low level iduronidase expression may be adequate for neurodevelopmental protection in Hurler Syndrome.
Hurler syndrome is a lysosomal storage disease resulting in fatal cardiac or neurologic sequelae unless alpha-iduronidase production is reconstituted with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We report on a 4-year, 6-month-old boy with mixed donor chimerism and low enzyme levels but a normal neurodevelopmental trajectory.
متن کاملComparison of Endovascular and Intraventricular Gene Therapy With Adeno-Associated Virus-α-L-Iduronidase for Hurler Disease.
BACKGROUND Hurler disease (mucopolysaccharidosis type I [MPS-I]) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase (IDUA). Currently, the only therapies for MPS-I, enzyme replacement and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, are generally ineffective for central nervous system manifestations. OBJECTIVE To test whether brain-targeted gene...
