Quaternary diagnostics scheme for mucolipidosis II and detection of novel mutation in GNPTAB gene

Abstract: Background Mucolipidosis II (ML II α/β) is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of GlcNAc-phosphotransferase enzyme and results in mis-targeting of multiple lysosomal enzymes. Affected patients are characterized by skeletal deformities and developmental delay. Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in GNPTAB gene are associated with the clinical presentation. This is the first study to characterize the underlying genetics of ML among a cohort of Egyptian patients.… Show more

“…It is noteworthy that there are continuous international collaborations between the aforementioned Institutions; NRC and MRI and research teams worldwide in attempt to reach the correct diagnosis and unravel the etiology and pathogenesis of rare disorders and identify causative mutations implicated in rare genetic syndromes. These research studies are either conducted on a cohort or per individual case and many of the past studies solved many cases and led to very promising and interesting results in the studied rare genetic syndromes in different genetic subspecialities; neuromuscular disorders, growth disorders, ciliopathies, ocular anomalies, congenital heart diseases, skeletal disorders, dental genetic abnormalities, inherited metabolic disorders, craniofacial disorders, dermatological anomalies and other variable rare genetic disorders with multiple congenital anomalies or disorders with underlying chromosomal aberrations or microdeletions ( Toomes et al, 1999 ; Zaki et al, 2007 ; Bielas et al, 2009 ; Handley et al, 2013 ; Rice et al, 2013 ; Traverso et al, 2013 ; Abdalla et al, 2014 ; Novarino et al, 2014 ; Abdalla et al, 2015 ; El-Hattab et al, 2016 ; Scott et al, 2016 ; Seifi et al, 2016 ; Abdalla et al, 2017 ; Fassad et al, 2018 ; Maddirevula et al, 2018 ; Patel et al, 2018 ; Fassad et al, 2020a ; Fassad et al, 2020b ; Chatron et al, 2020 ; Nabil et al, 2020 ; Shamseldin et al, 2020 ; Donato et al, 2021 ; Essawi et al, 2021 ; Horn et al, 2021 ; Meyer et al, 2021 ; Patel et al, 2021 ; Thomas et al, 2021 ).
