Mucopolysaccharidoses
Mucopolysaccharidoses
Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of metabolic disorders caused by the absence or malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes needed to break down molecules called glycosaminoglycans - long chains of sugar carbohydrates in each of our cells that help build bone, cartilage, tendons, corneas, skin and connective tissue.Depending on the specific enzyme deficiency, the catabolism of one or more GAGs may be blocked. Clinical features vary depending on the tissue distribution of the affected substrate and the degree of enzyme deficiency.`

Clinical features vary depending on the tissue distribution of the affected substrate and the degree of enzyme deficiency.`
In Morquio syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type IV), the degradation of KS is defective because of deficiency of either N -acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS gene) in Morquio syndrome type IVA or β –galactosidase (GLB1 gene) in Morquio syndrome type IVB.

Types of Mucopolysaccharidoses
Hurler syndrome(MPS I)-is the most severe of the MPS I subtypes-Developmental delay is evident by the end of the
first year, and patients usually stop developing between ages 2 and 4
-followed by progressive mental decline and loss of physical skills
-Language may be limited due to hearing loss and an enlarged tongue

-Language may be limited due to hearing loss and an enlarged tongue
Hunter syndrome(MPS II) -share many of the same clinical
features associated with Hurler syndrome (MPS I H) but with milder symptoms
-Onset of the disease is usually between ages 2 and 4
-Developmental decline is usually noticed between the ages of 18 and 36 months, followed by progressive loss of skills

features associated with Hurler syndrome (MPS I H) but with milder symptoms

Sanfilippo syndrome(MPS III) -marked by severe neurological
symptoms -progressive dementia -aggressive behavior
-hyperactivity-seizures -deafness and -loss of vision-and an inability to sleep for
more than a few hours at a time

Morquio syndrome(MPS IV) -Onset is between ages 1 and 3 -Neurological complications include spinal
nerve and nerve root compression resulting from extreme, progressive skeletal changes, particularly in the ribs and chest
-conductive and neurosensitive loss of hearing and clouded corneas
-Intelligence is normal unless hydrocephalus develops and is not treated
-Physical growth slows and often stops between the ages of 4-8. Skeletal abnormalities include a bell-shaped chest, a flattening or curvature of the spine, shortened long bones, and dysplasia of the hips, knees, ankles, and wrists. The bones that stabilize the connection between the head and neck can be malformed.

Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI) -usually have normal intellectual
development but share many of the physical symptoms found in Hurler syndrome
-Growth is normal at first but stops suddenly around age 8
-shortened trunk, crouched stance, and restricted joint movement by age 10
-In more severe cases, children also develop a protruding abdomen and forward-curving spine

Sly syndrome (MPS VII)
-Sly syndrome causes children to be born with hydrops fetalis, in which extreme amounts of fluid are retained in the body.
-Survival is usually a few months or less

Genetics
Mucopolysaccharidoses are autosomal recessive disorders, meaning that only individuals inheriting the defective gene from both parents are affected. (The exception is MPS II, or Hunter syndrome, in which the mother alone passes along the defective gene to a son.) When both people in a couple have the defective gene, each pregnancy carries with it a one in four chance that the child will be affected. The parents and siblings of an affected child may have no sign of the disorder. Unaffected siblings and select relatives of a child with one of the mucopolysaccharidoses may carry the recessive gene and could pass it to their own children.

Is there any treatment?
Currently there is no cure for these disease syndromes. Medical care is directed at treating systemic conditions and improving the person's quality of life.
-Physical therapy and daily exercise may delay joint problems and improve the ability to move.
-Surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids may improve breathing among affected individuals with obstructive airway disorders and sleep apnea.
-Surgery can also correct hernias, help drain excessive cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, and free nerves and nerve roots compressed by skeletal and other abnormalities.
-Corneal transplants for significant corneal clouding.
-Enzyme replacement therapy has proven useful in reducing non-neurological symptoms and pain

ROLE OF GAGs
In cancer:Hyaluronic acid may be important in permitting in tumor cells to migrate through the extracellular matrix.Glycosaminoglycans from normal cells are completely inactive. However, glycosaminoglycans from cancer cells are very active. They are quickly taken up by both normal and cancer cells and transported to the cell nuclei where they affect gene transcription and induce an antiproliferative effect, accompanied by apoptosis (cell death).

ROLE OF GAGs
In atherosclerosis:Dermatan sulfate binds plasma
LDL and it is the major GAG synthesized by the arterial smooth muscle cells.

ROLE OF GAGs
In arthritis:In various types of arthritis,
proteoglycans may act as autoantigens.The amount of chondroitin sulfate
in cartilage diminishes with age while keratan sulfate and hyaluronic acid increases. These changes may contribute to development of osteoarthritis.
