ABSTRACT

Mucolipidosis II and III alpha/beta (ML II/III alpha/beta) are rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases that are caused by a deficiency of UDP-GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the mannose 6-phosphate targeting signal on lysosomal hydrolases. A Brazilian patient suspected of having a very mild ML III was investigated using whole next-generation sequencing (NGS). Two mutations in the GNPTAB gene were detected and confirmed to be in trans status by parental analysis: c.1208T>C (p.Ile403Thr), previously reported as being pathogenic, and the novel mutation c.1723G>A (p.Gly575Arg). This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using whole NGS for the molecular diagnosis of very mild ML III alpha/beta patients.
