Glycosylation modifications of proteins and glycan hydrolysis are critical for protein function in biological processes. Aberrations in glycosylation enzymes are linked to lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), immune interactions, congenital disorders and tumour progression. Mannosidase alpha class 2B member 1 (MAN2B1) is a lysosomal hydrolase from the α-mannosidase family.

Background: α-mannosidosis (MAN) is a rare genetic condition that segregates in an autosomal recessive manner. Lack of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase is the underlying cause of the disease. Symptoms of the disease gradually worsen with the age.

Alpha-mannosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder with progressive impairments in motor functions, skeletal deformities, and immunodeficiency. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) should be initiated early to achieve optimal outcomes. This report describes how alpha-mannosidosis diagnosis in a seven-year-old girl led to a successful prenatal diagnosis in the subsequent pregnancy and pre-symptomatic treatment at the early disease stage.

Background: Alpha mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the MAN2B1 gene. It manifests with clinical features, including intellectual disability, hearing impairment, coarse facial appearance, skeletal anomalies, immunodeficiency, central nervous system involvement, psychiatric comorbidities, corneal opacity, and hepatosplenomegaly. This multicenter study assesses the long-term outcomes of individuals diagnosed with alpha-mannosidosis, examining demographic, clinical, laboratory, and molecular characteristics.
