BACKGROUND
Patients with mucopolysaccharidosis commonly have hearing impairment but the morphologic alterations in the ear caused by these lysosomal storage diseases are incompletely defined.
METHODS
We studied a murine model of mucopolysaccharidosis VII with clinical features, including conductive
MPS VII mice are deficient in beta-glucuronidase and share many clinical, biochemical, and pathologic characteristics with human mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII). We have shown that syngeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) prolongs survival and reduces lysosomal storage in many organs of
Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS-VII) is probably the rarest of the mucopolysaccharidoses; literature reveals only 20 cases. We have had the opportunity to study and treat such a child in our clinic, and this paper documents his speech, language, and hearing. Results demonstrated a delay with respect
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by beta-glucuronidase (GUSB) deficiency. This disease exhibits a broad spectrum of clinical signs including skeletal dysplasia, retinal degeneration, cognitive deficits and hearing impairment. Sustained, high-level
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII; Sly syndrome) is one of a group of lysosomal storage diseases that share many clinical features, including mental retardation and hearing loss. Lysosomal storage in neurons of the brain and the associated behavioral abnormalities characteristic of a murine
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome) is caused by dysfunction of the acid hydrolase beta-D-glucuronidase. The defect results in the accumulation of incompletely degraded glycosaminoglycans within lysosomes of a wide array of cell types. MPS VII is associated with mixed (conductive
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII (MPS7, also called β-glucuronidase deficiency or Sly syndrome; MIM 253220) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, caused by mutations in the GUSB gene. β-glucuronidase (GUSB) is a lysosomal hydrolase involved in the stepwise degradation of
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been shown to be effective at reducing the accumulation of undegraded substrates in lysosomal storage diseases. Most ERT studies have been performed with recombinant proteins that are mixtures of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated enzyme. Because different
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII or Sly syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycosaminoglycan storage leading to variable clinical symptoms, such as hepatosplenomegaly, bone deformities, hearing loss, corneal opacities, mental retardation, and hydrops fetalis in affected individuals. The
