Multiple sulfatase deficiency(MSD), also known asAustin disease,[1]ormucosulfatidosis,[1]is a very rareautosomal recessive[2]lysosomal storage disease[3]caused by a deficiency in multiplesulfataseenzymes, or informylglycine-generating enzyme,which activates sulfatases.[4]: 502 [5]It is similar tomucopolysaccharidosis.[6]

Signs and symptoms

[edit]

Symptoms of this disorder commonly appear between one and two years of age. Symptoms include mildly coarsened facial features, deafness,ichthyosis[7]and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplen Omega ly).[8]Abnormalities of the skeleton, such as a curving of the spine and breast bone may occur. The skin of individuals afflicted with this disorder, is typically dry.[9]Children affected by this disorder develop more slowly than normal and may display delayed speech and walking skills.[9]

The disease is fatal, with symptoms that include neurological damage and severemental retardation.[10]These sulfatase enzymes are responsible for breaking down and recycling complex sulfate-containing sugars fromlipidsandmucopolysaccharideswithin thelysosome.The accumulation of lipids and mucopolysaccharides inside the lysosome results in symptoms associated with this disorder. As of 2018,75–100 cases of MSD had been reported worldwide.[9]

Causes

[edit]

Multiple sulfatase deficiency is caused by any mutation of theSUMF1gene which renders its protein product, theformylglycine-generating enzyme(FGE), defective.[11][12]These mutations result in inactive forms of FGE.[13]This enzyme is required forposttranslational modificationof a cysteine residue in the sulfatase enzyme active site into formylglycine,[14]which is required for its proper function.[15]

Genetics

[edit]

MSD has anautosomal recessiveinheritance pattern.[2] The inheritance probabilitiesper birthare as follows:

  • If both parents are carriers:
    • 25% (1 in 4) children will have the disorder
    • 50% (2 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
    • 25% (1 in 4) children will be free of MSD - unaffected child that is not a carrier
  • If one parent is affected and one is free of MSD:
    • 0% (0) children will have the disorder - only one parent is affected, other parent always gives normal gene
    • 100% (4 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
  • If one parent is a carrier and the other is free of MSD:
    • 50% (2 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
    • 50% (2 in 4) children will be free of MSD - unaffected child that is not a carrier

Diagnosis

[edit]

MSD may be diagnosed when deficiency of more than one sulfatase enzyme is identified inleukocytesorfibroblasts,[16]or by moleculargenetic testingwhich shows pathogenic variation in both alleles of theSUMF1gene.[9]

Treatment

[edit]

As there is no cure for MSD, treatment is restricted to management of symptoms.[16] There is much research on MSD that is currently underway. MSD Action Foundation have initiated more than 15 research projects on MSD in the last 6 years. Many of these have a translational focus. It is hoped that clinical trials for MSD will happen in the not too distant future- Alan Finglas. [Ref 17. Finglas 2020]
