" /> Mucopolysaccharidosis, type VII - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Mucopolysaccharidosis, type VII;

Symbol : MPS7;

CISMeF acronym : MPS7;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Beta-glucuronidase deficiency; Gusb deficiency; Sly syndrome; Mps VII;

Description : Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by the inability to degrade glucuronic acid-containing glycosaminoglycans. The phenotype is highly variable, ranging from severe lethal hydrops fetalis to mild forms with survival into adulthood. Most patients with the intermediate phenotype show hepatomegaly, skeletal anomalies, coarse facies, and variable degrees of mental impairment (Shipley et al., 1993). MPS VII was the first autosomal mucopolysaccharidosis for which chromosomal assignment was achieved.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-glucuronidase gene (GUSB, 611499.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Beta-glucuronidase deficiency in fibroblasts and leukocytes; Dermatan and heparan sulfate excretion in urine; Coarse metachromatic granules in white blood cells; Chondroitin 4-, 6-sulfate excretion in urine;

Prefixed ID : #253220;
