Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) is a rare, X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by reduced activity of iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), with subsequent cellular accumulation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), heparan sulfate, and dermatan sulfate (DS). DS is a major component of the extracellular matrix of heart valves, which can be affected in MPS II. We investigated the natural history of valve disease in MPS II and the impact of long-term intravenous enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant I2S (idursulfase). In total, 604 cardiac examinations were assessed from serial follow-up of 80 male patients (49 neuronopathic). Valve disease was classified according to standard practice from hemodynamic features evident from echocardiography. The natural history group comprised 48 patients (up to 14.8 years of follow-up; median, 2.6 years; 24 patients started ERT during the study); 56 patients were treated (up to 14.2 years of follow-up; median, 6.2 years). Lifetime GAG burden (calculated from urinary GAG measurements) correlated significantly with the degree of valve disease. Onset of moderate-to-severe valve disease was significantly delayed in treated (median age at onset, 29.1 ± 2 [95% CI: 25.2-32.9] years; Kaplan-Meier estimation) versus untreated patients (17.6 ± 1 [95% Cl: 15.8-19.4] years; p < 0.0001). Cox regression modeling found that long-term ERT reduced the probability of developing severe valve disease (χ2, 32.736; significant after 5 years of ERT). Overall, this study found that valve disease severity in MPS II correlates with GAG burden and that progression is delayed by long-term ERT.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease (JIMD) is the official journal of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM). By enhancing communication between workers in the field throughout the world, the JIMD aims to improve the management and understanding of inherited metabolic disorders. It publishes results of original research and new or important observations pertaining to any aspect of inherited metabolic disease in humans and higher animals. This includes clinical (medical, dental and veterinary), biochemical, genetic (including cytogenetic, molecular and population genetic), experimental (including cell biological), methodological, theoretical, epidemiological, ethical and counselling aspects. The JIMD also reviews important new developments or controversial issues relating to metabolic disorders and publishes reviews and short reports arising from the Society''s annual symposia. A distinction is made between peer-reviewed scientific material that is selected because of its significance for other professionals in the field and non-peer- reviewed material that aims to be important, controversial, interesting or entertaining (“Extras”).
