Updated Confirmatory Diagnosis for Mucopolysaccharidoses in Taiwanese Infants and the Application of Gene Variants
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by genetic defects that result in deficiency of one specific enzyme activity, consequently impairing the stepwise degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Except for MPS II, the other types of MPS have autosomal recessive inheritance...

description | Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by genetic defects that result in deficiency of one specific enzyme activity, consequently impairing the stepwise degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Except for MPS II, the other types of MPS have autosomal recessive inheritance in which two copies of an abnormal allele must be present in order for the disease to develop. In this study, we present the status of variant alleles and biochemistry results found in infants suspected of having MPS I, II, IVA, and VI. A total of 324 suspected infants, including 12 for MPS I, 223 for MPS II, 72 for MPS IVA, and 17 for MPS VI, who were referred for MPS confirmation from newborn screening centers in Taiwan, were enrolled. In all of these infants, one specific enzyme activity in dried blood spot filter paper was lower than the cut-off value in the first blood sample, as well asin a second follow-up sample. The confirmatory methods used in this study included Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing, leukocyte enzyme fluorometric assay, and GAG-derived disaccharides in urine using tandem mass spectrometry assays. The results showed that five, nine, and six infants had MPS I, II, and IVA, respectively, and all of them were asymptomatic. Thus, a laboratory diagnosis is extremely important to confirm the diagnosis of MPS. The other infants with identified nucleotide variations and reductions in leukocyte enzyme activities were categorized as being highly suspected cases requiring long-term and intensive follow-up examinations. In summary, the final confirmation of MPS depends on the most powerful biomarkers found in urine, i.e., the quantification of GAG-derived disaccharides including dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, and keratan sulfate, and analysis of genetic variants can help predict outcomes and guide treatment. |
