Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder leading to deleterious brain effects. While animal models suggested that MPS I severely affects white matter (WM), whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis was not performed due to MPS-related morphological abnormalities. 3T DTI data from 28 severe (MPS IH, treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-HSCT), 16 attenuated MPS I patients (MPS IA) enrolled under the study protocol NCT01870375, and 27 healthy controls (HC) were analyzed using the free-water correction (FWC) method to resolve macrostructural partial volume effects and unravel differences in DTI metrics accounting for microstructural abnormalities.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I - IDUA gene) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. Clinical symptoms, including visceral overload, are progressive and typically begin postnatally. Descriptions of hepatosplenomegaly associated with lysosomal pathology are uncommon during the prenatal period.

The correct diagnosis is fundamental for the appropriate treatment to be employed in a particular pathology. The best treatment is not the one that solves only local problems, fragmenting the patient, and therefore, it is necessary to integrate the entire systemic condition of the individual before initiating any local treatment. This context inevitably requires dentistry to participate in a multidisciplinary approach, where the role of the dentist is expanded in concepts that encompass ethics, human dignity, and professional valorization.

Article Synopsis
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the IDUA gene, and this study aimed to investigate the genetic causes of MPS-I in a Chinese patient while creating a minigene for variant analysis.* -
  • The research utilized whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to identify a novel splicing mutation in the IDUA gene, associated with paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) on chromosome 4, revealing important insights into the genetic transmission of the disorder.* -
  • The study found that the mutation led to abnormal splicing events in mRNA, altering the protein structure, which expands the understanding of IDUA variants and may help improve

Introduction And Importance: Hurler syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidoses type I, is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with decreased activities of α-L iduronidase, resulting in the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within various tissues.

Case Presentation: The authors presented a case report of a 15-year-old male who presented with a lower respiratory tract infection and was admitted to the pediatrics department with a history of facial dysmorphism, skeletal abnormalities, and corneal clouding and below-normal cognitive function which is consistent with the Hurler-Scheie syndrome. Skeletal abnormalities include inverted j-shaped sella turcica, bullet-shaped phalanges, thoracolumbar kyphosis, and acetabular dysplasia.
