How Not to Miss the Mild Forms of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I in Patients With Articular Manifestations of the Disease?

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I mild forms include Scheie syndrome and Hurler-Scheie syndrome that are characterized by slow progression, intact intelligence, and primarily effect on visual organ, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. Early diagnostics, multidisciplinary approach to examination and monitoring, timely management are crucial in maintenance of patients' quality of life, preventing complications development and early disability. The article provides the overview of published data and description of 3 clinical cases with mild course of mucopolysaccharidosis type I.

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a genetically heterogeneous group of rare monogenic metabolic diseases associated with hereditary insufficiency of lysosomal enzymes involved in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans, or mucopolysaccharides. The pathogenesis of MPS is due to the accumulation of non-cleaved glycosaminoglycans in lysosomes, which can destroy cells. All MPS are characterized by a polysystemic manifestation, the simultaneous involvement of many organs and tissues in the pathological process, first of all, connective tissues, bones and cartilaginous. This review presents the epidemiology, clinical, biochemical, and molecular genetic characteristics of MPS types I and II, caused by the recessive mutations in the alpha-L-iduronidase and iduronate-2-sulfatase genes, respectively, and by the accumulation of dermatan and heparan sulfate. Each of these diseases is characterized by clinical polymorphism, especially observed in MPS I, which often manifests in a severe form of Hurler syndrome, but can also occur in a milder form of Scheie syndrome. Currently, there is an increased interest in MPS in the world due to the identification of the spectrum and frequencies of mutations in theIDUAandIDSgenes in various populations, including in Russia, and the practical availability of methods for individual molecular diagnostics. The description of the existing experimental models, their role in the study of the biochemical basis of the pathogenesis of these severe hereditary diseases and the development of various therapeutic approaches are given. Discusses the possibility of early diagnosis of MPS I and II types based on neonatal screening in order to increase the effectiveness of their prevention and treatment, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the main approaches to the treatment of these serious diseases, such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, enzyme replacement and substrate-reducing therapy. A clinical example of a combination therapy for a severe form of mucopolysaccharidosis type I Hurler syndrome is presented

Background. Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I) has clinical heterogeneity without specific symptoms leading to difficulties with diagnostic on time. In-depth screening for MPS I in children has aim of early detection and timely treatment with an enzyme replacement therapy. Aim. The purpose of this study was to conduct a clinical and economic assessment of the feasibility of screening for MPS I in children at group of risks. Materials and methods. Model for evaluation of the social-economic burden of MPS I with calculation of expenditures has been created. Costs of diagnosed and non-diagnosed patients in group of risks were identified, including direct medical costs (pharmacotherapy, out-patient cure, hospital admission, complications treatment, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; direct non-medical (payments for disability); indirect (expenses related to the reduction or loss of the ability to work of one of the parents performing the duties of caring for a disabled child). Results. The weighted average cost per 1 diagnosed patient with mild forms of MPS I with selective screening, was 405,974.22 rubles, which is 184,421.85 rubles less vs average cost per 1 undiagnosed patient. The management and treatment of patients with mild forms of MPS I after selective screening will allow saving up to 17.7 million rubles/year, which would possible to additionally screen 705 patients. Taking into account the size of the population of patients with undiagnosed MPS I, currently the costs for this group amount to 56.7 million rubles, while the «overspend» of budget funds for untimely diagnosis of MPS I for this cohort of children is about 22.6 million rubles/year. Conclusion. Selective screening for MPS I in children at group of risks is economically proved and can lead to treatment on-time for disability and complications prevention.
