ABSTRACT 8

Purpose: Mucopolysaccharidoses are a heterogeneous group of lysosomal 9

storage disorders. Ocular complications (such as corneal clouding, 10

retinopathy and optic neuropathy) are common. Notably, there is a paucity of 11

data on the effect of genotype, and systemic treatments (enzyme replacement 12

therapy or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation) on the ocular phenotype 13

in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). We prospectively studied the ocular 14

features of patients with MPSI (Hurler/Hurler-Scheie/Scheie), MPSIV 15

(Morquio) and MPSVI (Maroteaux-Lamy), to evaluate the effect of different 16

therapeutic interventions and to correlate the findings with genetic and 17

biomarker data. 18

Methods: Prospective observational cohort study. Study participants 19

underwent detailed ocular examination including visual acuity; assessment of 20

corneal clouding (Iris Camera Corneal Opacification Measure (COM) score 21

and Pentacam densitometry); and retinal and optic nerve imaging (optical 22

coherence tomography and wide-field fundus imaging). Data on genotype, 23

biomarkers and delivered therapies (type and length of treatment) were also 24

collected for each patient where available. 25

Confidential: For Review OnlyResults: Overall, 21 MPSI, 4 MPSIV and 3 MPSVI patients were recruited. 26

Corneal clouding scores were higher in MPSI compared to MPSIV and 27

MPSVI. Retinopathy was evident in MPSI patients only. Association was 28

observed between corneal clouding and biomarkers in MPSI, MPSIV and 29

MPSVI. However, no clear association was seen between genotype or 30

treatment type and ocular phenotype. 31

Conclusions: The ocular phenotype in MPS is variable, with corneal clouding 32

occurring in MPSI, MPSIV and MPSVI, and retinopathy in MPSI only. There 33

was an association between corneal clouding and efficacy of systemic 34

treatment as measured by biomarkers. 35

Confidential: For Review OnlyINTRODUCTION 38

The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare metabolic disorders 39

characterized by defects in specific lysosomal enzymes involved in the 40

degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Intra- and extra-cellular 41

deposition of GAGs occurs and can result in a wide range of systemic 42

manifestations, including distinctive facial features; visual and hearing 43

impairment; cardiorespiratory, skeletal and neurological problems, and 44

intellectual impairment.[1] Quality of life in patients with MPS may be 45

significantly affected by visual impairment secondary to corneal opacification; 46

other ocular complications such as retinopathy, glaucoma, and optic 47

neuropathy, may also contribute to visual loss.[2] Previous studies have 48

shown that the ocular phenotype varies in different MPS types, with corneal 49

clouding being a prominent feature of MPSI (Hurler, Hurler-Scheie and 50

Scheie), MPSIV (Morquio), MPSVI (Maroteaux-Lamy) and MPSVII (Sly), and 51

retinopathy being a feature in MPSI, MPSII (Hunter), MPSIII (Sanfilippo A-D) 52

and MPSIV.[2-4] 53

54

Systemic interventions available for MPS include Haematopoietic Stem Cell 55

Transplantation (HSCT) and Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT). 56

Importantly, these can result in improvement of systemic manifestations and 57

lifespan.[5] Biochemical parameters have previously been validated as 58

markers of efficacy of HSCT and ERT,[6-8] and a correlation between 59

treatment efficacy and systemic and ocular outcomes has been shown in 60

MPSI Hurler treated with HSCT.[9] No such relationship has been shown 61

between ERT and ocular phenotype. This may be related to the fact that ERT 62

reduction therapy and gene therapy are currently undergoing clinical trails in 64

MPS [5,11]. 65

66

The utility of ocular imaging modalities in MPS has previously been reviewed 67

by our group,[12] and were thought to be useful in objectively assessing the 68

ocular phenotype in MPS. 69

70

This study aims to use objective investigations to document the ocular 71

phenotype in patients with MPS and correlate the findings with MPS type, 72

genotype and efficacy of treatment. 73

74

75

METHODS 76

The study was conducted inline with the tenants of the Declaration of Helsinki. 77

Patients with MPS were recruited from Ophthalmology clinics at Manchester 78

Royal Eye Hospital, UK. Data on genotype and biomarkers were collected 79

from the Willink Unit, Manchester, UK. Any patient with a diagnosis of MPS, 80

over 3 years of age, was eligible to participate in this study. 81

Each patient underwent assessment of visual acuity (VA); clinical examination 82

(subjective evaluation of corneal clouding, intraocular pressure [IOP] 83

measurement, fundoscopy) and corneal clouding assessment using an iris 84

camera (IrisGuard model IG-AD100 ®, Irisguard Ltd, Buckinghamshire, UK; 85

Corneal Opacification Measure [COM] score)[13] and the Pentacam system 86

(Oculus Inc, Germany; densitometry measure).[14] Digital slit lamp 87

Confidential: For Review Onlyphotographs were also obtained to document the level of corneal clouding. 88

Posterior segment evaluation was performed using optical coherence 89

tomography (OCT; Spectralis HRA+OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, 90

Heidelberg, Germany) and digital wide-field fundus imaging (Optos Vantage, 91

Optos PLC, Dunfermline, Scotland, UK). Some patients did not have all 92

measures due to issues such as time constraints or patient fatigue. 93

Biomarkers have previously been validated as markers of treatment efficacy 94

in MPS.[6-8] Biomarkers evaluated included dermatan sulphate/chondroitin 95

sulphate [DS/CS] ratio (MPSI and MPSVI), keratan sulphate/chondroitin 96

sulphate [KS/CS] ratio (MPSIV) and post-HSCT iduronidase enzyme levels 97

(MPSI treated with HSCT), where available. 98

Corneal clouding was graded clinically as absent, mild (corneal clouding not 99

obstructing view of structures in the anterior chamber or fundus), moderate 100

(details of iris and fundus obscured) or severe (unable to view structures in 101

the anterior chamber or fundus).[4,15] Grades of corneal clouding were 102

expressed numerically as 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. IOP was 103

measured with either Icare rebound tonometer or Goldman applanation 104

tonometer. 105

International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) standard 106

electroretinograms had been performed in a subset of cases. 107

Anterior segment 124

Clinically all 28 patients showed some degree of corneal clouding. A notable 125

proportion of patients (13/28) showed mild (grade 1) corneal clouding. The 126

MPSI group had a higher proportion of patients with moderate to severe 127

(grades 2 and 3) corneal clouding (13/21 of MPSI patients compared to 1/4 of 128

MPSIV and 1/3 of MPSVI). 129

Corneal clouding was assessed objectively using the Pentacam system 130

(densitometry measure) and an iris camera (COM score). No association 131

between VA and COM score (Figure 1a) or between VA and Pentacam 132

densitometry (Figure 1b) was observed. Also there was no association 133

between VA and clinical corneal clouding grade. 134

Clinically graded mild corneal clouding was associated with COM scores 135

between 0.1164 and 2.859. Moderate corneal clouding was associated with 136

overlap in COM scores for mild and moderate clinically graded corneal 138

clouding there is an overall trend toward higher COM scores in higher clinical 139

grades of corneal clouding (Figure 1c). Clinically graded mild corneal 140

clouding was associated with Pentacam densitometry scores between 16.2 141

and 32.8. Moderate corneal clouding was associated with densitometry 142

scores of between 38.1 and 54.9 (Figure 1d). Notably, the Pentacam was 143

unable to take pictures for two study participants with significant corneal 144

clouding (subjects 4 and 28; Supplementary Table2). 145

Posterior segment 147

Seven MPSI patients had retinopathy confirmed on full field 148

electroretinograms, all of which revealed predominant rod system dysfunction 149

(Table 2). Retinal pigment epithelial changes were seen in 4 of these patients 150

on fundoscopy. In 2 patients the fundal view was limited due to significant 151

corneal clouding. One patient with no evidence of retinopathy on fundoscopy 152

had electroretinographic evidence of rod system dysfunction (subject 12: 153

MPSI, 7years old). 154

Two study participants were noted to have small, crowded optic nerve heads 155

clinically, in keeping with Optos fundus imaging findings. Small crowded discs 156

were noted on Optos imaging in another patient (subject 9; Figure 3d), though 157

had not been recorded clinically. 158

Twelve patients underwent Optos wide-field imaging. A clear fundal view was 159

corneal clouding (6/7) and one patient with severe corneal clouding (Figure 2). 162

In 2 patients the quality of images were different between eyes, (subjects 6 163

Four MPSI patients showed evidence of retinopathy (RPE mottling, bone 165

spicule pigmentation and/or atrophic retinal changes) on Optos imaging, 166

(subjects 1, 6, 7 and 9) (Figure 2c,d & e). One of these patients had no 167

259.24µm (n=17 images); (the mean CFT was 227.63+/-11.43µm in healthy 174

young adults,[16] and average CRST was 271.2+/- 2.0µm in healthy 175

children).[17] One MPSI patient (subject 7: MPSI, 17 years old), was found to 176

have abnormal retinal contour in keeping with chorioretinal folds; CFT and 177

CRST measurements were therefore not attempted for this subject. Patient 3 178

(MPSI, 15 years old) and patient 14 (MPS I, 18 years old) had extensive 179

photoreceptor outer segment loss with preserved inner segment ellipsoid line 180

in the fovea (Figure 3a & b). Patient 9 (MPSI, 44years old) had widespread 181

photoreceptor loss bilaterally and a left intraretinal cyst (Figure 3c & d). A 182

central foveal hyper-reflective zone was observed above the inner segment 183

ellipsoid line in 16/20 MPSI eyes (Supplementary Table3). 184

Biomarkers 190

In MPSI patients the median DS/CS ratios were 0.5 for those with mild 191

corneal clouding (n=8), 0.60 for those with moderate corneal clouding (n=12) 192

and 0.70 for those with severe corneal clouding (n=1), (Supplementary Figure 193

1b). In MPSIV patients the median KS/CS ratio was higher in those with 194

moderate corneal clouding (0.49, n=1) compared to those with mild corneal 195

clouding (0.32, n=1), (Supplementary Figure 1c). In MPSVI the median 196

DS/CS ratio was also slightly higher in those with moderate corneal clouding 197

(0.71, n=1) compared to those with mild corneal clouding (0.62, n=2), 198

(Supplementary Figure 1d). Due to the small numbers in some groups 199

statistical analysis was not performed. 200

Iduronidase levels were available for all 12 MPSI patients who underwent 201

HSCT. There was a trend for lower post-HSCT iduronidase levels in 202

participants with more severe corneal clouding: the median value was 203

47.0µmol/g/hr in those with absent to mild corneal clouding (n=5) and 204

31.4µmol/g/hr in those with moderate corneal clouding (n=7) (Supplementary 205

figure 1e). 206

The median DS/CS ratio in MPSI patients with retinopathy was 0.49 (n=7) 207

211

Genetics 212

Genetic data was available for 21/28 patients; (Supplementary Table 4). 213

There was no clear association between the severity of corneal clouding and 214

the disease genotype in the present cohort. In the MPSI group, there were 6 215

patients homozygous for the p.(Leu490Pro) variant in the IDUA gene. Four of 216

these displayed clinically moderate corneal clouding and 2 displayed mild 217

corneal clouding; all 6 were being treated with weekly ERT. Genetic data was 218

available for 6/6 MPSI patients with known retinopathy: two had 219

p.(Leu490Pro)(;)(Leu490Pro), two had p.(Trp402*)(;)(Trp402*), one had 220

p.(Gln380Arg)(;)(Thr388Arg) and one had p.(Trp402*)(;)(Ala327Pro). 221

222

DISCUSSION 223

Over the past few decades the development of treatments for MPS has 224

greatly improved systemic outcomes and quality of life in patients with MPS. 225

Given this, it is important that we try to better understand the MPS-associated 226

ocular phenotype. In this study we used objective measures to assess the 227

ocular phenotype in patients with MPS. Correlations between these 228

measures, the MPS type, treatment, biomarkers and genotype were sought. 229

A notable finding of this study is the lack of significant correlation between the 230

level of MPS-associated corneal clouding and visual acuity. VA 231

Confidential: For Review Onlymeasurements may be influenced by cooperation and understanding, and the 232

presence of other ocular involvement such as optic neuropathy and 233

retinopathy in patients with MPS. It is likely that the lower average VA in the 234

MPSI group compared to other groups may be associated with the higher 235

incidence of retinopathy found in MPSI. However, we also found a higher 236

proportion of patients with MPSI have moderate to severe corneal clouding 237

compared to those with MPSIV and MPSVI. In contrast, previous studies have 238

shown corneal clouding to be worse in MPSVI than MPSIV and MPSI.[3,4] 239

This discrepancy may be accounted for by the small numbers of patients in 240

this study, particularly in the MPSIV and MPSVI groups. 241

Anterior Segment imaging with the iris camera and Pentacam have previously 242

been validated to provide an objective measure of corneal clouding in 243

MPS.[13,14] We found an association between Pentacam densitometry 244

values and clinical grades of mild to moderate corneal clouding. However, the 245

Pentacam was unable to take corneal opacification measures when there was 246

severe corneal clouding, which may limit its use in the more severe MPS 247

ocular phenotypes. The iris camera COM score was found to be higher in 248

those with moderate corneal clouding compared to those with mild corneal 249

clouding as assigned by subjective clinical grading. However, there is a 250

significant overlap in the observed scores for these subjective grades. One 251

possible explanation for this is the fact that the clinical grade is based on the 252

overall appearance of the cornea while the iris camera only assesses the 253

central pupillary area of the cornea. Objective measurements such as the iris 254

camera COM score and Pentacam densitometry may be better used for 255

detecting change in the level of corneal clouding over time within an individual 256

This study demonstrated retinopathy in MPSI but not in MPSVI, as found in 258

previous studies. None of our MPSIV patients had evidence of retinopathy, 259

which has been seen also in other studies.[3] We have demonstrated that 260

OCT is useful in detection of retinopathy and cystoid macula edema in MPS. 261

Photoreceptor layer loss was observed in two MPSI patients with fundoscopic 262

findings of retinopathy; OCT evidence of retinopathy was also detected in one 263

patient in whom there had been no clinical suspicion. Seok et al. also reported 264

similar OCT findings in patients with MPS.[18] A hyper-reflective zone was 265

observed above the inner segment ellipsoid line in the central fovea in 16/20 266

MPSI patient eyes. This feature has been previously described in individuals 267

with MPS,[18,19] and is thought to reflect thickening of the External Limiting 268

Membrane (ELM). 269

Despite variable image quality obtained with the Optos imaging system, 270

fundoscopic findings that were not detected by slit-lamp examination were 271

highlighted. In one MPSI patient, evidence of peripheral retinopathy was 272

noted on Optos, which had not been suspected clinically. In a different patient, 273

crowded optic disc clearly seen on Optos imaging had not been appreciated 274

clinically. Wide-field imaging can therefore be useful in detecting and 275

monitoring optic nerve and retinal changes, particularly when the changes are 276

peripheral. Interestingly, one patient with electroretinographic abnormality had 277

normal Optos imaging, suggesting that electrodiagnostic testing maybe better 278

at detecting early retinopathy compared to imaging. 279

Confidential: For Review OnlyPrevious studies have demonstrated an association between efficacy of 280

treatment (demonstrated by biomarkers) and corneal clouding in patients with 281

MPSI.[9, 20, 21] In this study, median DC/CS or median KS/CS ratios were 282

found to generally increase with increasing grades of corneal clouding in 25 283

patients. Furthermore, median post-HSCT enzyme levels were lower in those 284

with moderate corneal clouding compared to those with mild corneal clouding, 285

also suggesting an association between the ocular phenotype and 286

biomarkers. 287

In this study we have attempted to quantify the degree of corneal clouding 288

and assess the clinical utility of fundus imaging in children and adults with 289

MPS. Limitations of this study include small numbers in MPSIV and MPSVI 290

groups, and the absence of all imaging modalities being obtained for all 291

participants. However, the rare nature of this condition and patient factors 292

such as easy fatigability, skeletal deformity and intellectual difficulties makes 293

addressing these limitations challenging. 294

We found significant variability in the ocular phenotype associated with MPS 295

but the causes of this variability remain poorly understood. It is unclear to 296

what extent the varying effect of genotype or enzyme levels contributes to this 297

variability and future prospective studies of large, well characterised MPS 298

cohorts are expected to provide important insights. 299
