Diagnosis and Emerging Treatment Strategies for Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (Sly Syndrome)

Abstract: Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome) is an ultra-rare lysosomal disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme β-glucuronidase (GUS). The diagnosis is suspected based on a range of symptoms that are common to many other MPS types, and it is confirmed through biochemical and molecular studies. Besides supportive treatment, current and emerging treatments include enzyme replacement therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and gene therapy. This review summarizes the clinical manifestations, d… Show more

“…Moreover, frequent infections of the upper respiratory tract are a common clinical feature observed in this group of patients [ 36 , 41 ]. In MPS IV (Morquio syndrome), the development of obstructive lung disease may occur as a consequence of various tracheobronchial abnormalities, and also in MPS VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), obstructive lung disease is related to the presence of narrowed bronchial airways and trachea-bronchomalacia, that can result in acute airway obstruction or collapse [ 42 ].…”

“…In total, 80 variants of the GUSB gene have been described. 74% of these are missense mutations, 11% are nonsense mutations, 5% are splicing mutations, and 7% are small deletions or indel mutations [ 9 ].…”

“…Our search resulted in 46 MPS-VII patients with cardiac involvement consisting of progressive CVD, ARe, AVS, AI, DAR, MVR, MVS, MI, TVR, MF, LVD, LVH, CH, early repolarization and T wave inversion and, in several cases, congestive HF [540,564,590,654,[666][667][668][669][670][671][672][673][674][675] (Table 6, Supplementary Tables S2 and S3). ERT in MPS-VII seems to stabilize some of the cardiac symptoms (although worsening cases have also been reported), while the effects on these symptoms due to HSCT are still under scrutiny in few clinical trials [676].…”
