ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La mucopolisacaridosis tipo II y tipo IVA son enfermedades causadas por la deficiencia de las enzimas iduronato 2 sulfato sulfatasa y galactosamina 6 sulfato sulfatasa respectivamente. El depósito resultante de glucosaminoglicanos produce manifestaciones clínicas variadas. Aunque se han propuesto varias alternativas diagnósticas, tales como el examen físico, la cuantificación de glucosaminoglicanos en orina y la cuantificación de la actividad enzimática en leucocitos, la utilidad diagnóstica de esta última no ha sido estudiada en la práctica clínica rutinaria. La posibilidad de ofrecer terapia de reemplazo enzimático a estos pacientes obliga a evaluar la utilidad de la cuantificación de actividad enzimática para confirmar el diagnóstico de estas entidades. OBJETIVO: Evaluar la utilidad diagnóstica de la cuantificación de actividad enzimática de la iduronato 2 sulfato sulfatasa en leucocitos para la confirmación diagnóstica de la MPS tipo II y la galactosamina 6 sulfato sulfatasa en leucocitos para la confirmación diagnóstica de la MPS tipo IVA. Esta revisión no contempla la evaluación de la utilidad diagnóstica del examen físico, glucosaminoglicanos en orina o pruebas moleculares. METODOLOGÍA: Se realizó una búsqueda de las revisiones panorámicas y sistemáticas de los últimos cinco años y estudios de validez diagnóstica, cohortes descriptivas y series de casos sin límite de fecha en MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, DARE, LILACS y Google. Los artículos debían estar en texto completo, en inglés o español. Se excluyeron artículos que describieran mutaciones o manifestaciones clínicas de un sistema u órgano específico. Los estudios con criterios de elegibilidad fueron evaluados por dos revisores independientes. A los estudios incluidos se extrajo información sociodemográfica, clínica y métodos diagnósticos empleados. RESULTADOS: No se encontró ninguna revisión panorámica, sistemática o estudio de validez diagnóstica para MPS tipo II o IVA. Se incluyeron 3 estudios de serie de casos para MPS tipo II y 13 series de casos para MPS tipo IVA. El 100% de los estudios de MPS tipo II incluyeron la cuantificación enzimática como prueba confirmatoria. El 63.6% (7/11) de las series de casos de MPS tipo IVA incluyeron la cuantificación enzimática en leucocitos como prueba confirmatoria, el 18.1% (2/11) no la incluyeron por falta de disponibilidad de la tecnología y el otro 18.1% (2/11) por publicación del artículo antes de la fecha de introducción de la tecnología. CONCLUSIONES: La cuantificación de la actividad enzimática de la iduronato 2 sulfato sulfatasa y la galactosamina 6 sulfato sulfatasa en leucocitos representa una tecnología diagnóstica útil para confirmar MPS tipo II y MPS tipo IVA respectivamente en pacientes con sospecha clínica de dichas entidades.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPSII) is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). In this study, we proposed a new protocol for prenatal diagnosis, using DNA obtained from amniotic fluid cells that did not attach to the bottom of the culture flask after the first medium change. Methods: Four pregnant MPS II carriers were referred to the Medical Genetics Service of Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre for a prenatal diagnosis and identification of the disease, which were performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, restriction fragment length polymorphism, and sequencing according to the mutation previously found in the family. Results: The analysis indicated the absence of mutation in three fetal materials and the presence of mutation in one case. Concomitantly, cytogenetic and biochemical analyses were performed after 12 days of cell culture, and only one case showed absence of enzyme activity, confirming the molecular analysis. Conclusions: This diagnostic protocol designed to provide more robust results and safer genetic counseling suggests that DNA obtained from floating amniotic fluid cells can be used as a source of fetal material to allow a faster alternative for prenatal care through molecular analysis. Determination of IDS gene mutation in fetal amniotic fluid cells together with IDS enzyme activity testing is a rapid, sensitive and accurate method for prenatal diagnosis of MPS II for high-risk pregnant women.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Korean mothers in parenting children with Hunter's syndrome, an X linked recessive genetically inherited disease usually affecting boys. METHODS: Data were collected from 14 mothers having children with Hunter's syndrome, through two focus group interviews and individual in-depth interviews. Qualitative data from the field notes and transcribed notes were analyzed using the grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss & Corbin (1998). RESULTS: The core category about the process of rearing children with Hunter's syndrome was identified as "navigating in the maze". The process of rearing children with Hunter's syndrome passed through three phases; 'entering an unknown region', 'struggling to escape from the unknown region', 'settling down in the unknown region'. CONCLUSION: In this study "navigating in the maze", as the core category deeply showed joys and sorrows of mothers in the process of rearing their children with Hunter's syndrome. In this rearing process they gradually adjusted themselves to their given condition. Also they gained initiatively coping strategies to care for, and protect their children. Therefore health care providers can establish supportive programs in the clinical field to empower these mothers by reflecting their proactive coping strategies.

ABSTRACT

Las enfermedades por depósito lisosomal (EDL) son un grupo heterogéneo de más de 40 dolencias genéticas, debidas a la deficiencia de diversas enzimas encargadas de metabolizar sustancias dentrode los lisosomas. Estas macromoléculas se depositan dentro de las organelas de múltiples órganos y dan lugar a diversos signos y síntomas.Muchas de estas enfermedades tienen manifestaciones cutáneas, e incluso en algunas oportunidades es el dermatólogo quien sospecha el diagnóstico a partir de las lesiones en piel.En el presente trabajo se describen 8 pacientes con EDL, diagnosticados en nuestro servicio entre 2009 y 2010, en los cuales las lesiones en piel fueron la clave para arribar al diagnóstico.Cinco pacientes presentaban enfermedad de Fabry (un varón y 4 mujeres), uno mucopolisacaridosis 2 (sexo masculino), uno beta-manosidosis (sexo masculino) y el último galactosialidosis (sexo femenino).Los angioqueratomas fueron la manifestación cutánea más frecuente, y la clave diagnóstica en los pacientes con Fabry, el paciente con manosidosis y la paciente con galactosialidosis, mientras que la lesión en piel que llevó a sospechar mucopolisacaridosis 2 fueron manchas mongólicas aberrantes, algunas lenticulares, que comprometían el tronco.En cuatro pacientes el diagnóstico se confirmó por estudios enzimáticos en gota de sangre en papel de filtro, leucocitos y/u orina. En cinco pacientes (uno de los cuales ya había sido diagnosticado deforma bioquímica) se realizó estudio molecular. En todos los pacientes se hicieron los estudios complementarios necesarios para evaluar extensión del compromiso extracutáneo y necesidad de tratamientoespecífico (en aquellos pacientes en los cuales su enfermedad de base dispone de terapia de reemplazo enzimático). En uno de los pacientes con Fabry se inició terapia específica.El interés de nuestro trabajo radica en mostrar distintas EDL en las cuales el rol del dermatólogo fue fundamental para arribar al diagnóstico, resaltando..


Lysosomal-storage disorders are a group of more than 40 heterogeneous hereditary diseases dueto the deficiency of various lysosomal enzymes, in charge of the metabolization of macromolecules,with accumulation of the undigested substances inside those organelles througout severalorgans, deriving in the multiple symptoms and signs of these diseases.A great number of these diseases may have cutaneous lesions, and in many cases the dermatologistmay be the one to suggest the diagnosis.We describe eight patients with lisosomal storage diseases diagnosed at our hospital during 2009and 2010, on whom the cutaneous lesions were the clue to the diagnosis. Five patients were diagnosed as Fabry´s disease (1 male and 4 females), one as mucopolisaccharidosis2 (male), one as mannosidosis (male) and the last one as galactosyalidosis (female). Angiokeratomaswhere the most frequent cutaneous manifestation, and the key to the diagnosis inFabry’s, beta mannosidosis and galactosyalidosis, while aberrant and lenticular mongolian spotson the trunk led us to the diagnosis of mucopolissacharidosis 2.On four patients the diagnosis was confirmed by biochemical work-up. On five patients (one ofthem had already been confirmed with biochemistry) a genetic study was also performed.On all the patients studies where performed to evaluate the extension of the systemic disease andthe need of a specific treatment (for those diseases where it is available). One of the patients withFabry´s disease started the treatment soon after the diagnosis.We would like to emphasize the fundamental role of the dermatologist in diagnosing these diseases,stressing not only the academic importance of these rare diseases but also the possibility ofstarting in many of them specific enzyme replacement treatment.

ABSTRACT

Lysosomal storage disorders are a heterogeneous group of biochemical genetic disorders; currently 40-50 are known. The clinical phenotype is determined by the tissue distribution of the storage material and degree of enzyme deficiency. The genetic transmission is mostly autosomal recessive. Lysosomal storage disorders can be divided into three groups according to the major organ system pathology: (1) Primary involvement of the central nervous system without significant somatic or skeletal pathology. Disorders of grey matter, eg gangliosidosis and disorders of white matter eg the leucodystrophy are the most common; (2) Primary involvement of the reticuloendothelial system with or without associated neuropathology, eg Niemann-Pick disease and Gaucher disease; (3) Multisystem involvement in which skeletal manifestations are prominent features. The mucopolysaccharidosis and mucolipidoses are the two major forms with this clinical phenotype. Lysosomal storage disorders identified at Siriraj Hospital are neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, GMI gangliosidosis, mucolipidosis II, Maroteaux-Lamy, sialidosis, Sly syndrome, Hunter syndrome, Morquio syndrome, Gaucher disease, Niemann-Pick, Sandhoff disease, Pompe's disease and many more. Most patients came from the provinces where consanguinity is common. Confirmation usually is done by enzyme assays using skin fibroblast culture or leucocytes. Genetic counseling is extremely important and prenatal diagnosis is recommended to high-risk couple.
