A novel mutation in Sanfilippo Syndrome type B. Case report
Keywords:
Sanfilippo Syndrome type B, Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB, NAGLU gene, alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase.Abstract
Introduction: Sanfilippo syndrome type B is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. The frequent clinical manifestations include slightly coarse facial features, progressive neurodegeneration and mild somatic repercussion caused by mutations in the NAGLU gene, whose locus is 17q21.2. The worldwide incidence is very low and only seven patients have been diagnosed in Cuba since 1985.
Objective: To describe clinical, biochemical and molecular characteristics of a Cuban patient with the diagnosis of Sanfilippo Syndrome type B.
Case presentation: A 13 years old patient was described. The main clinical manifestations included mild coarse facie, synophrys, behavior disturbances, and progressive neurologic deterioration. Intermittent sleep disturbance and frequent upper respiratory infections were identified. Ulcerative colitis and intestinal polyp were demonstrated. Increased excretion of heparan sulfate and very low N-acetyl α-Dglucosaminidase activity were confirmed. In addition, the presence of mutation c.640dupC in NAGLU gene was identified. The patient had homozygous genotype and both parents were heterozygous.
Conclusions: Behavioral alterations, progressive neurological deterioration and respiratory infections predominated in the reported case. Other findings such as ulcerative colitis and intestinal polyps were not previously described in this disease. The chromatographic and enzymatic studies were positive for Sanfilippo type B. This patient's genotype was found to be homozygous for a novel pathogenic allelic variant in the NAGLU gene. Mendelian segregation of the mutation in the family was demonstrated.
