The existence of so-called Hurler-like diseases had been known for many years when in 1967 Oeckermann in Lund, Sweden, described a boy who represented an isolated case of an apparently new disorder. Mental retardation, susceptibility to infection, coarse features, and skeletal abnormalities were seen. Abnormal white blood cells containing so-called vacuoles were found. The child died of an infection, and in the tissues total mannose, a particular sugar, was strikingly increased and alpha-mannosidase activity, the enzyme which normally should take care of these sugars, showed to be only a few per cent of expected. Since then, the disease has also been found in a number of other species, like in cattle and in cats. Back to Contents What is wrong?

Extractions: home about faq diseases ... press release Mannosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder of the oligosaccharide family and closely related to the Mucopolysaccharidoses. Alpha-Mannosidosis was first described by Dr Oekermann, from Lund in Sweden, in 1967. There is another variant known as Beta-Mannosidosis which is extremely rare and has produced a wide range of clinical abnormalities in the few patients described with this disorder. Mannosidosis is an enzyme deficiency disorder which results in defective mannosidase activity and the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains. This accumulation is responsible for many problems that affect individuals with Mannosidosis. Whilst there is no cure for individuals affected by this disorder, a booklet published by the MPS Society sets out to demonstrate how Mannosidosis may present and how it may be clinically managed. The prospect of new therapies is also addressed. The booklet draws on the experiences of parents and doctors and with reference to medical literature. What causes Mannosidosis?

Clinically, children have craniofacial dysmorphism, psychomotor retardation, cataracts and hearing loss. Radiologically, the features mimic those of mucopolysaccharidosis. There is brachycephaly, sometimes craniostenosis, widened ribs, flattened vertebrae with anterior beaking at the thoracolumbar junction, widening of the tubular bones with some irregularity of the metaphyses, a narrow basal segment to the iliac wings and osteoporosis.

Extractions: Mannosidosis is a genetic disorder characterized by a lysosomal enzyme deficiency resulting in progressive mental and physical deterioration. A deficiency of the enzyme alpha-D-mannosidase causes the symptoms of this disorder which can vary in severity. Symptoms of the most severe form may begin within the first year of life while a milder form may begin during juvenile or adult years.
