Multiple sulphatase deficiency with early onset.

E Vamos, I Liebaers, N Bousard

    Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multiple sulphatase deficiency is a rare lysosomal storage disorder presenting with severe developmental delays and skeletal abnormalities. Diagnosis requires biochemical evidence of multiple enzyme deficiencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of inherited metabolic diseases caused by deficiencies in lysosomal enzymes.
    • Multiple sulphatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare, severe form of LSD characterized by the combined deficiency of multiple sulfatase enzymes.

    Observation:

    • A male infant presented with neonatal bone deformities, progressing to hydrocephaly, hepatosplenomegaly, and developmental delays.
    • Clinical features included coarse facies, corneal opacities, and joint stiffness.
    • Radiological findings and vacuolated lymphocytes suggested a lysosomal storage disorder.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of MSD was confirmed by the presence of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and sulfatides in urine.
    • Conjunctival biopsy revealed a mixed storage process.
    • Biochemical analysis demonstrated deficiencies in multiple arylsulfatases (A, B, C), iduronate sulfatase, and heparan sulfatase in serum, leukocytes, and fibroblasts.

    Implications:

    • MSD represents a complex genetic disorder with significant multi-systemic impact.
    • Early diagnosis through biochemical markers is crucial for potential management strategies.
    • Further research into MSD pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions is warranted.
