Systemic lysosomal storage disease marked by progressive physical deterioration and caused by a deficiency of L-sulfoiduronate sulfatase. This disease differs from MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS I by slower progression, lack of corneal clouding, and X-linked rather than autosomal recessive inheritance. The mild form produces near-normal intelligence and life span. The severe form usually causes death by age 15.

Hunter's syndrome and associated sleep apnoea cured by CPAP and surgery. (1/112)

A 42-yr-old male with Hunter's syndrome presented with severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and daytime respiratory failure. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy was initially ineffective and produced acute respiratory distress. Extensive Hunter's disease infiltration of the upper airway with a myxoma was confirmed. Following surgery to remove the myxoma at the level of the vocal cords, CPAP therapy was highly effective and well tolerated. This report demonstrates the necessity of evaluating fully the upper airway in patients with unusual variants of OSAS, particularly where the disease is not adequately controlled by CPAP.  (+info)

Elimination of lysosomal storage in brains of MPS VII mice treated by intrathecal administration of an adeno-associated virus vector. (2/112)

Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) is an inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by insufficient beta-glucuronidase (GUS). To provide gene therapy in a mutant mouse model of this disease, we have used a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector to deliver GUS cDNA to a variety of tissues. Although intravenous administration of vector produced therapeutic levels of GUS in the liver, delivery to the brain was inadequate. To improve delivery to the brain intrathecal injection of the vector into the cerebrospinal fluid was employed. This route of administration to either neonatal or adult mutant mice resulted in therapeutic levels of GUS in the brain and the elimination of storage granules in brain tissue.  (+info)

The 2.1-, 5.4- and 5.7-kb transcripts of the IDS gene are generated by different polyadenylation signals. (3/112)

Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) is responsible for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (OMIM 309900). The IDS gene (Xq28) has been completely sequenced (accession number L35485). Northern blot analysis of poly(A(+)) RNA from different tissues, hybridized with the total IDS cDNA, has revealed three major species of 2.1, 5.4 and 5.7 kb and one minor of 1.4 kb. The 1.4-kb mRNA has been previously described and we show that the three major IDS mRNA are the result of alternative polyadenylation site selection: a non-canonical ATTAAA signal at genomic position 23631 for the 2.1-kb mRNA, a AATAAA signal at position 27156 for the 5.4-kb mRNA and a AATAAA signal at position 27399 for the 5.7-kb mRNA. The different IDS mRNA encode for the same polypeptide and the most abundant transcripts have a long 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). The absence of obvious correlation between transcripts content and size, IDS protein amount and IDS activity in the four human fetal tissues tested suggests that it is IDS protein processing that may be regulated rather than IDS gene transcription.  (+info)

Enzyme replacement therapy by fibroblast transplantation: long-term biochemical study in three cases of Hunter's syndrome. (4/112)

We have assessed the effectiveness of transplanted histocompatible fibroblasts as a long-lived source of lysosomal enzymes for replacement therapy in three patients with Hunter's syndrome, over periods ranging from 2.5 to 3.75 yr. The level of Hunter corrective factor excreted by all three patients increased after transplantation, as did the activity of alpha-L-idurono-2-sulfate sulfatase in serum, when measured directly with a radioactive disulfated disaccharide substrate. Sulfatase activity was also raised in leukocyte homogenates from the two patients that we were able to assess. These increases in enzyme activity were accompanied by corresponding increases in catabolism of heparan and dermatan sulfates, as shown by (a) a decrease in sulfate:uronic ratios of urinary oligosaccharides, (b) an increase in iduronic acid monosaccharide, and (c) a normalization of Bio-Gel P-2 gel filtration profiles. Both the increase in enzyme activity and increased catabolism were maintained during the period of study and were not affected by either a gradual decrease or total withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy.  (+info)

Iduronate sulfatase analysis of hair roots for identification of Hunter syndrome heterozygotes. (5/112)

Iduronate sulfatase, the enzyme deficient in Hunter syndrome, can be readily measured in individual hair roots. Samples from Hunter syndrome hemizygotes had activities at or near the limits of detection. Samples from two mothers of Hunter syndrome patients, one an obligate heterozygote, had lower average iduronate sulfatase activity than the normal mean, and a significant number of hair roots had activity in the pathognomic range. A third mother showed a normal distribution of enzyme activity, and no hair roots were in the range of those from an affected individual. These results are similar to studies on the distribution of other X-linked enzymes in individual hair root samples from heterozygotes. This suggests that hair root iduronate sulfatase assessment is useful in the detection of Hunter syndrome carrier status, but further refinement of the test system is necessary.  (+info)

Detection of hunter heterozygotes by enzymatic analysis of hair roots. (6/112)

We have developed a procedure for testing iduronate sulfatase, the enzyme deficient in Hunter syndrome, in single hair roots. Beta-Hexosaminidase was used as the reference enzyme. The ratio of iduronate sulfatase to beta--hexosaminidase, expressed in arbitrary units of activity, is near zero for Hunter patients and greater than 0.6 in almost all roots of normal individuals. Hair roots of Hunter heterozygotes show a characteristic continuum of activity ratios, ranging from totally deficient up to and including the normal range. The results are consistent with the origin of hair roots from a small number of progenitor cells which obey the Lyon hypothesis. The proportion of roots with low activity can be used to discriminate between normal and heterozygous individuals.  (+info)

Donor bone marrow from a sibling with inborn error of metabolism for treatment of acute leukaemia - clinical and biochemical consequences in the non-affected recipient. (7/112)

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is increasingly used in an attempt to correct inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). However, little is known about effects of BMT from patients with IEM donating for non-affected recipients. We present data from a 8.5-year-old girl who underwent BMT in second remission for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) at the age of 7 years from her HLA-identical brother who was severely affected by Hunter syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis type II, iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS) deficiency). After BMT not only leukocyte but also plasma activity of IDS was absent. Mixing experiments and immunoadsorption suggest antibody-mediated enzyme inhibition. However, her urinary glycosaminoglycan excretion has not increased post BMT and clinical signs of mucopolysaccharidosis are absent 20 months after BMT. We conclude that patients with white cell enzyme deficiencies and other IEMs do not have to be excluded from bone marrow donation. Antibody production by the graft may occur and be reflected by a marked reduction in plasma enzyme levels but not tissue activity. Similar antibody responses resulting in enzyme inactivation might also affect other enzyme replacement strategies for individuals with IEM.  (+info)

Unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation in infancy for mucopolysaccharidosis type IIB (Hunter syndrome) complicated by autoimmune hemolytic anemia. (8/112)

This report describes unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation for a 10-month-old infant boy with mucopolysaccharidosis IIB (Hunter syndrome), an X-linked metabolic storage disorder due to deficiency of iduronate sulfatase. Two years after transplant approximately 55% normal plasma enzyme activity has been restored and abnormal urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans has nearly completely resolved. The boy has exhibited normal growth and development after transplant. Nine months after transplant he developed severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia and required 14 months of corticosteroid treatment to prevent clinically significant anemia. Bone marrow transplantation for Hunter syndrome and post-transplant hemolytic anemia are reviewed. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2000).  (+info)

Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of an enzyme called iduronate sulfatase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides in the body.

When this enzyme is missing or not functioning properly, GAGs accumulate in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive cellular damage and organ dysfunction. The symptoms of MPS II can vary widely but often include developmental delays, coarse facial features, hearing loss, airway obstruction, heart problems, enlarged liver and spleen, and joint stiffness.

The severity of the disease can range from mild to severe, with some individuals experiencing only moderate symptoms while others may have significant intellectual disability and life-threatening complications. Treatment options for MPS II include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but there is currently no cure for the disease.

Iduronate sulfatase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the breakdown and recycling of complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These GAGs are important components of various tissues, including connective tissues, bones, and cartilage.

Iduronate sulfatase is specifically responsible for breaking down a type of GAG known as dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate by removing sulfate groups from specific sugar molecules in these GAGs. This enzyme is located in the lysosomes, which are membrane-bound organelles within cells that break down and recycle various materials.

Deficiency of iduronate sulfatase leads to a genetic disorder called Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome. In this condition, the lack of functional iduronate sulfatase enzyme results in an accumulation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive damage and a range of symptoms, including developmental delays, coarse facial features, hearing loss, heart problems, and joint stiffness.

Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is a medical treatment approach in which functional copies of a missing or deficient enzyme are introduced into the body to compensate for the lack of enzymatic activity caused by a genetic disorder. This therapy is primarily used to manage lysosomal storage diseases, such as Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, Pompe disease, and Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), among others.

In ERT, the required enzyme is produced recombinantly in a laboratory using biotechnological methods. The purified enzyme is then administered to the patient intravenously at regular intervals. Once inside the body, the exogenous enzyme is taken up by cells, particularly those affected by the disorder, and helps restore normal cellular functions by participating in essential metabolic pathways.

ERT aims to alleviate disease symptoms, slow down disease progression, improve quality of life, and increase survival rates for patients with lysosomal storage disorders. However, it does not cure the underlying genetic defect responsible for the enzyme deficiency.

Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), also known as mucopolysaccharides, in the body.

When the enzyme is deficient, GAGs accumulate in various tissues and organs, leading to a range of symptoms that can affect different parts of the body, including the skeletal system, heart, respiratory system, eyes, and central nervous system. There are three subtypes of MPS I: Hurler syndrome (the most severe form), Hurler-Scheie syndrome (an intermediate form), and Scheie syndrome (the least severe form).

The symptoms and severity of MPS I can vary widely depending on the specific subtype, with Hurler syndrome typically causing more significant health problems and a shorter life expectancy than the other two forms. Treatment options for MPS I include enzyme replacement therapy, bone marrow transplantation, and various supportive therapies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of an enzyme called N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides, which are found in various tissues and organs throughout the body.

When the enzyme is deficient, GAGs accumulate within the lysosomes of cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and tissue damage. This accumulation results in a range of symptoms that can affect multiple organ systems, including the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and central nervous system.

The signs and symptoms of MPS VI can vary widely among affected individuals, but common features include: coarse facial features, short stature, stiff joints, restricted mobility, recurrent respiratory infections, hearing loss, heart valve abnormalities, and clouding of the cornea. The severity of the disease can range from mild to severe, and life expectancy is generally reduced in individuals with more severe forms of the disorder.

MPS VI is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VII, also known as Sly syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), or mucopolysaccharides, in the body. When this enzyme is not present in sufficient amounts, GAGs accumulate in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive damage.

The symptoms of MPS VII can vary widely, but often include coarse facial features, short stature, skeletal abnormalities, hearing loss, heart problems, and intellectual disability. Some individuals with MPS VII may also have cloudy corneas, enlarged liver and spleen, and difficulty breathing due to airway obstruction. The severity of the condition can range from mild to severe, and life expectancy is often reduced in those with more severe symptoms.

MPS VII is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) in order to develop the condition. Treatment for MPS VII typically involves enzyme replacement therapy, which can help to slow down the progression of the disease and improve some symptoms. However, there is currently no cure for this condition.

Mucopolysaccharidosis III, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome, is a genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of specific enzymes needed to break down complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides. This results in an accumulation of these substances in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive damage.

There are four main types of Mucopolysaccharidosis III (A, B, C, and D), each caused by a deficiency in one of the following enzymes: heparan N-sulfatase (type A), alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (type B), acetyl-CoAlpha-glucosaminide acetyltransferase (type C), or N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase (type D).

The symptoms of Mucopolysaccharidosis III typically become apparent between the ages of 2 and 6, and may include developmental delays, hyperactivity, behavioral problems, sleep disturbances, coarse facial features, hirsutism, hepatosplenomegaly (enlarged liver and spleen), and joint stiffness. Over time, individuals with Mucopolysaccharidosis III may experience a decline in cognitive abilities, loss of previously acquired skills, and mobility issues.

Currently, there is no cure for Mucopolysaccharidosis III, and treatment is focused on managing the symptoms and improving quality of life. Enzyme replacement therapy, gene therapy, and stem cell transplantation are some of the experimental treatments being investigated for this condition.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders caused by the deficiency of specific enzymes needed to break down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs or mucopolysaccharides). As a result, these GAGs accumulate in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive cellular damage and multi-organ dysfunction. There are several types of MPS, including Hurler syndrome, Hunter syndrome, Sanfilippo syndrome, Morquio syndrome, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, and Sly syndrome, each resulting from a deficiency in one of the eleven different enzymes involved in GAGs metabolism. The clinical presentation, severity, and prognosis vary among the types but commonly include features such as developmental delay, coarse facial features, skeletal abnormalities, hearing loss, heart problems, and reduced life expectancy.

Mucopolysaccharidosis IV (MPS IV), also known as Morquio Syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that belongs to the family of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses. It is characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs or mucopolysaccharides) in various tissues and organs due to deficiencies in specific enzymes needed to break down these complex carbohydrates.

There are two types of MPS IV: Type A and Type B, which are caused by deficiencies in different enzymes (GALNS and B3GALNT1, respectively). Both types result in similar symptoms but may vary in severity. The accumulation of GAGs primarily affects the bones, cartilage, eyes, ears, heart, and respiratory system.

Common features of MPS IV include:
* Dwarfism with short trunk and long limbs
* Progressive skeletal abnormalities such as kyphosis (hunchback), scoliosis (curvature of the spine), pectus carinatum (protruding breastbone), and joint laxity or stiffness
* Coarse facial features
* Corneal clouding
* Hearing loss
* Heart valve abnormalities
* Respiratory issues
* Hypermobile and dislocated joints
* Carpal tunnel syndrome
* Spinal cord compression

Treatment for MPS IV primarily focuses on managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and preventing complications. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is available for Type B but not for Type A. Other treatments may include physical therapy, surgery, and medications to address specific symptoms.

Iduronidase is a type of enzyme that helps break down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the body. Specifically, iduronidase is responsible for breaking down a type of GAG called dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate.

Deficiency or absence of this enzyme can lead to a genetic disorder known as Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I), which is characterized by the accumulation of GAGs in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive damage and impairment. There are two forms of MPS I: Hurler syndrome, which is the severe form, and Scheie syndrome, which is the milder form.

Iduronidase replacement therapy is available for the treatment of MPS I, in which the missing enzyme is delivered directly to the patient's body through intravenous infusion. This helps break down the accumulated GAGs and prevent further damage to the tissues and organs.

N-Acetylgalactosamine-4-Sulfatase is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates in the body. Its specific function is to remove a sulfate group from a particular type of sugar molecule called N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfate, which is found on certain proteoglycans (large, complex sugars attached to proteins) in the body.

This enzyme plays an important role in the normal functioning of cells and tissues, particularly in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, and other connective tissues. Deficiencies in this enzyme can lead to a rare genetic disorder called Morquio A syndrome (also known as MPS IVA), which is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, short stature, and other health problems.

Chondro-4-sulfatase is an enzyme that belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ester bonds in sulfuric acid esters. It is responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of the 4-sulfate ester group from N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate residues found in chondroitin 4-sulfate, a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is abundant in connective tissues such as cartilage.

Chondroitin 4-sulfate plays important roles in the structure and function of the extracellular matrix, including regulating cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. The action of chondro-4-sulfatase helps to control the balance between sulfated and non-sulfated GAG chains, which is critical for maintaining normal tissue homeostasis.

Defects in chondro-4-sulfatase activity can lead to a rare genetic disorder called chondrodysplasia punctata type 1B (CDPX1B), also known as multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD). This condition is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, developmental delay, and other neurological symptoms.

Chondroitin sulfatases are a group of enzymes that break down chondroitin sulfate, which is a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) found in connective tissues such as cartilage, bone, and skin. Glycosaminoglycans are long, complex chains of sugars that help provide structure, hydration, and elasticity to these tissues.

Chondroitin sulfate is composed of alternating units of glucuronic acid and N-acetylgalactosamine, with various sulfate groups attached at different positions along the chain. Chondroitin sulfatases cleave specific bonds within this structure to help regulate the turnover and remodeling of GAGs in tissues.

There are several types of chondroitin sulfatases (designated as chondroitin sulfatase A, B, C, D, etc.), each with distinct substrate specificities and cellular localizations. Defects in these enzymes can lead to various genetic disorders, such as skeletal dysplasias and neurodegenerative diseases, due to the accumulation of unprocessed or partially degraded chondroitin sulfate in tissues.

Glucuronidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucuronic acid from various substrates, including molecules that have been conjugated with glucuronic acid as part of the detoxification process in the body. This enzyme plays a role in the breakdown and elimination of certain drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds, such as bilirubin. It is found in various tissues and organisms, including humans, bacteria, and insects. In clinical contexts, glucuronidase activity may be measured to assess liver function or to identify the presence of certain bacterial infections.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long, unbranched polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units. They are a major component of the extracellular matrix and connective tissues in the body. GAGs are negatively charged due to the presence of sulfate and carboxyl groups, which allows them to attract positively charged ions and water molecules, contributing to their ability to retain moisture and maintain tissue hydration and elasticity.

GAGs can be categorized into four main groups: heparin/heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. These different types of GAGs have varying structures and functions in the body, including roles in cell signaling, inflammation, and protection against enzymatic degradation.

Heparin is a highly sulfated form of heparan sulfate that is found in mast cells and has anticoagulant properties. Chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate are commonly found in cartilage and contribute to its resiliency and ability to withstand compressive forces. Keratan sulfate is found in corneas, cartilage, and bone, where it plays a role in maintaining the structure and function of these tissues. Hyaluronic acid is a large, nonsulfated GAG that is widely distributed throughout the body, including in synovial fluid, where it provides lubrication and shock absorption for joints.
