Mucopolysaccharidosis VII. Sly Syndrome

Rattus norvegicus
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII), also called Sly syndrome, is a rare inborn error of metabolism (IEM) and autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GUSB gene. This gene encodes for the beta-glucuronidase enzyme, which normally breaks down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). However, without beta-glucuronidase, accumulation of GAGs in cells specifically the lysosome increases. The increase in cell size causes tissues and organs to become enlarged as well. This disorder is characterized by macrocephaly, a buildup of fluid in the brain, characteristic facial features, and a large tongue. Other symptoms may include hepatosplenomegaly, heart valve abnormalities, and umbilical or inguinal hernias. MPS VII also causes various skeletal abnormalities, including joint issues and decreased growth. Treatments such as enzyme replacement therapy are still fairly new, however traditionally treatments for Mucopolysaccharidosis VII included symptom relief such as surgery. It is estimated that MPS VII affects 1 in 250,000 individuals.

Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency, Neonatal or Early Onset Form

Mus musculus
Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency also called Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency, Neonatal or Early Onset Form, is a rare inborn error of metabolism (IEM) and autosomal recessive disorder of either mutations in the BTD gene or the HLCS gene. The BTD gene encodes for biotinidase and the HLCS gene encodes for holocarboxylase synthetase. This disorder is classified as a multiple carboxylase deficiency, a group of disorders characterized by impaired activity of enzymes dependent on biotin. Symptoms of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency typically appear within the first few months of life, and include difficulty feeding, breathing problems, a skin rash, hair loss, and lethargy. Treatment using biotin supplements if immediate and lifelong can be effective in preventing many complications and managing the disorder. However, if left untreated the disorder can lead to delayed development, seizures, and coma.
