Understanding of the degradative pathways for GAGs, as in the case of glycoproteins (Chapter 47) and glycosphingohpids (Chapter 24), has been gready aided by elucidation of the specific enzyme deficiencies that occur in certain inborn errors of metabolism. When GAGs are involved, these inborn errors are called mucopolysaccharidoses (Table 48—7). [Pg.545]

The mucopolysaccharidoses share a common mechanism of causation, as illustrated in Figure 48-10. They are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, with Hurler and Hunter syndromes being perhaps the most widely studied. None are common. In some cases, a family history of a mucopolysaccharidosis is obtained. Specific laboratory investigations of help in their diagnosis are urine testing for the presence of increased... [Pg.545]

The term mucolipidosis was introduced to denote diseases that combined features common to both mucopolysaccharidoses and sphingolipidoses (Chapter 24). Three mucolipidoses are listed in Table 48—7. In sialidosis (mucolipidosis I, ML-I), various oligosaccharides derived from glycoproteins and certain ganglio-sides can accumulate in tissues. I-cell disease (ML-II)... [Pg.546]

The GAGs are synthesized by the sequential actions of a battery of specific enzymes (glycosyltransferases, epimerases, suhotransferases, etc) and are degraded by the sequential action of lysosomal hydrolases. Genetic deficiencies of the latter result in mucopolysaccharidoses (eg, Hurler syndrome). [Pg.554]

A 9-year-old boy is referred for evaluation of his hearing. A note from his school principal explains that he is inattentive in class. Initial physical examination indicates that he is at the 10th percentile for height, has coarse facial features, and is somewhat macrocephalic however, the remainder of the examination is within normal limits. Audiometry results confirm partial bilateral deafness, which is sensorineural in etiology. An IQ examination shows that he is in the 60th percentile for intelligence. Family history of mucopolysaccharidoses prompts specialty testing, which indicates elevated levels of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate in both a skin biopsy and urine sample. [Pg.181]
