This retrospective database study, using data from the Informatics Department of the Brazilian Health System (DATASUS), aimed to estimate the prevalence of MPSII in Brazil from 2008 to 2020 and to describe demographic and clinical profiles from patients under treatment. The study population was derived from DATASUS records of MPS II (ICD-10 E76.1) diagnosed in Brazil. Initially 455 patients were found, but only 181 patients who were receiving idursulfase treatment were included in this study. Among these cases, as expected in a X-linked disease, all were males and 40% of the cases were recorded in the Southeast region, and another 34% in the Northeast region. The biggest proportion of patients (39%) were diagnosed when they were 10-19 years old. There are 212 clinical conditions associated with MPS II, although the main comorbidities related to MPSII include: abdominal/inguinal hernia, respiratory complications, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Respiratory disorders were the fifth most frequent comorbidity recorded in these patients. The healthcare professionals in Brazil more involved in the diagnosis of MPS II were radiologists, followed by geneticists and cardiologists. Despite some limitations, DATASUS is a relevant database to provide information on rare diseases such as MPS II. Most cases were reported in southeast and northeast regions, respectively. This information is crucial to help design targeted public policies.","PeriodicalId":56346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136008473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is rarely recognized in patients with AADC deficiency. The aim of this study was to describe OMD in detail in 4 patients with AADC deficiency. OMD occurred in isolated form or in association with oculogyric crises, increasing the difficulty in care patients during the crises. The main form of OMD was tongue dystonia associated with mouth opening dystonia. AADC deficiency must be included in the list of genetic causes of OMD.","PeriodicalId":56346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135651086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A screening package, especially for early recognition can support to regulate the PKU process of most patients. New-born screening program in any country focuses at the earliest detection of inheritance deficiency disorders in order to avoid the most severe repercussion by appropriate medication. This screening program needs a concomitant diagnosis and involves additional clinical research. Strategies from developed countries recommend that new-born screening should be done as soon as possible after birth before hospital/clinic discharge because if detected later, it conveys to significantly increase in disability as well as morbidity. Although exact protocol differs among different countries, testing procedures for PKU should be followed universally recognized in the developed world. Unfortunately, new-born screening program in Bangladesh is in lying-in room or possibly in pilot study in particular hospital, because the health-care system is classically targeted mortality (like childbirth complications) and transmittable morbidities (such as COVID-19) but not inborn frailties. Although policies and management of childbirth complications have been successfully lowered infant and mother mortality rates, the number of disabled babies increased tremendously. The study aims to investigate the current status of new-born screening (NBS) program of PKU in the Rajshahi Division Bangladesh, and focus on future plans to manage with life-long treatment. The primary challenges such as financial support for newborn screening, publicity, should be identified and implemented for national PKU-NBS policy as a role model of Bangladesh for developing countries.","PeriodicalId":56346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82906711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
