Estimación de las frecuencias de las mucopolisacaridosis y análisis de agrupamiento espacial en los departamentos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá

Abstract: Introducción. Las mucopolisacaridosis son enfermedades poco frecuentes de depósito lisosómico de glucosaminoglucanos, con datos variables sobre su incidencia en diferentes países a nivel mundial. En Latinoamérica hay reportes de frecuencias en Brasil, pero en Colombia la información es escasa. Objetivos. Estimar las frecuencias de las mucopolisacaridosis mediante un estudio retrospectivo en los departamentos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá, y estimar la agregación espacial de los casos en estos mismos departamentos. … Show more

“…Other groups have carried out studies to calculate the prevalence of genetic disorders but these are far fewer and do not represent a concerted effort, for instance, the prevalence of mucopolysaccharidosis in Colombia is around two cases per 100,000, with type IV (Morquio syndrome) being the most common and type VII (Sly) being the least frequent (Gomez et al. ); the allele frequency for hemoglobin S in Choco region (predominantly Afro‐Colombian) is 0.5% and 0.15% in Valle Del Cauca (Instituto Colombiano de Cultura Hispanica). The prevalence of cystic fibrosis in Colombia is thought to be higher than one in 12,000 although the authors of the study acknowledge that this is likely an underestimate given the high percentage of undiagnosed cases, significant delay in diagnosis (4 years average in Colombia) and early mortality of patients with CF (average range in Colombia is 2–25) (Vasquez et al.…”

“…In Japan, the incidence is estimated to be 1 in 90,000 (Ochiai et al 2007). There are no studies regarding the incidence and prevalence of MPS II in Colombia; however, the combined frequency of all MPS cases calculated in the departments of Cundinamarca and Boyacá was 1.98 in 100,000 live births, and the estimated frequency of MPSII was 0.45 in 100,000 live births (Gómez et al 2012).…”
