BACKGROUND
The skeletal phenotype of mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is characterized by short stature and growth failure.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to construct reference growth curves for MPS VI patients with rapidly and slowly progressive disease.
METHODS
We pooled cross-sectional and longitudinal height for age data from galsulfase (Naglazyme(®), BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.), treatment naïve patients (n = 269) who participated in various MPS VI studies, including galsulfase clinical trials and their extension programs, the MPS VI clinical surveillance program (CSP), and the MPS VI survey and resurvey studies, to construct growth charts for the MPS VI population. There were 229 patients included in this study, of which data from 207 patients ≤25 years of age with 513 height measurements were used for constructing reference growth curves.
RESULTS
Height for age growth curves for the 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 95th percentiles were constructed for patients with rapidly and slowly progressing disease defined by the pre-enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) uGAG levels of > or ≤200 μg/mg creatinine. The mean (SD) pre-ERT uGAG levels were 481.0 (218.6) and 97.8 (56.3) μg/mg creatinine for the patients ≤25 years of age with rapidly (n = 131) and slowly (n = 76) progressing MPS VI disease, respectively. The median growth curves for patients with ≤ and >200 μg/mg creatinine were above and below the median (50th percentile) growth curve for the entire MPS VI population.
CONCLUSIONS
MPS VI growth charts have been developed to assist in the clinical management of MPS VI patients.
