Human β‐mannosidosis: a 3‐year‐old boy with speech impairment and emotional instability

Abstract: β‐mannosidosis is a recently described inherited disorder with predominantly neurological signs and symptoms as the major manifestations of the disorder. The heterogeneous manifestations of the disease have been presented in seven previous patients. We describe a further case of European descent with an infantile onset of the disease, with the features of speech impairment as the first symptom, β‐mannosidase activity was completely deficient in the patient and a heterozygote level was found in the parents.

“…As a result, they would completely demolish the enzyme activity. In fact, patients with Y126X [7], W192X [14], W231X [38], V321X [39] and Y485X [9] truncations showed typical severe phenotypes such as mental retardation, hearing loss and some degrees of angiokeratomas, with the age of onset ranging from infantile to 18 months [15,40]. Figure 3 provides an overview of the correlation between genotypic variations and phenotypic expressions amongst truncations obtained by mapping the extent of truncated protein in each case, caused by nonsense, insertion and deletion mutations within the MANBA gene sequence, to the human β-mannosidase protein chain.…”

“…In humans, the clinical symptoms are peripheral neuropathy [14,26], speech impairment [27], epileptic encephalopathy [28], angio keratoma [29], facial dysmorphism [30], and low MANB activity was reported in fibroblast, plasma, and leukocytes [31].…”

“…The first cases of b-mannosidosis were described in 1986 [9,14]. b-mannosidosis is most commonly associated with mental retardation, behavioral problems including hyperactivity and aggressiveness, developmental delay, frequent infections, and hearing loss [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Speech impairment, swallowing difficulties, poor muscle tone (hypotonia), reduced sensation, or other nervous system abnormalities have also been reported.…”
