目的 分析临床罕见的黏脂贮积症(ML)II和 III α/β的临床特征及基因特点。方法 回顾分析3例 GNPTAB基因变异致ML II和 III α/β患儿的临床资料,并复习相关文献。结果 2例患儿为同一家系汉族男性,分别为8 岁3个月和23个月,有不同程度的关节挛缩和矮小;另1例患儿为女性,19个月,生长发育迟缓,面容特殊,眼眶浅、鼻梁 塌陷、嘴巴突出、耳位低等,反复呼吸道感染。基因检测显示2例男性患儿均有GNPTAB基因的复合杂合变异c.1284+1G>T; c.1370C>T(p.Pro436Leu);女性患儿有GNPTAB基因的纯合变异c.1090C>T(p.Arg364*)。3例患儿的父母均携带 GNPTAB基因的杂合变异。结论 GNPTAB基因变异可致ML II和 III α/β,临床应注意两者的区分。
Objective To analyze the clinical features and genetic characteristics of mucolipidosis (ML) II and III α / β. Methods The clinical data of 3 children with ML II and III α / β caused by mutation of GNPTAB gene were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed. Results Two children, aged 8 years and 3 months and 23 months, respectively, were Han nationality males from the same family. Both of them showed different degrees of joint contracture and short stature. The other child was a 19 months old girl, with symptom of growth retardation, shallow orbits, collapsed nose bridges, protruding mouth and low-set ears. She also had a history of repeated respiratory infections. Genetic testing showed that two male children had a compound heterozygous variant of c.1284+1G > T and c.1370C > T (p.Pro436Leu) in the GNPTAB gene. The female child had homozygous variants of c.1090C > T (p.Arg364*) in the GNPTAB gene. The parents of three patients carried heterozygous variants of the GNPTAB gene. Conclusions Mutations of GNPTAB gene can result in ML II and III α / β that should be differentiated clinically.
