Extractions: Ciara, Hunter and Tommy Bennett are outdoors on a brilliant spring afternoon in Amador County, their naps finished, their little tennis shoes tromping in a vast, green yard. The youngsters suffer from a genetic disorder known as Sanfilippo syndrome, which is caused by the body's inability to produce certain enzymes and strikes about 1 in 70,000 babies. The absence of the enzymes causes sugar molecules called mucopolysaccharides to build up in the body, causing progressive damage to the heart, bones, joints, and respiratory and central nervous systems. Sanfilippo youngsters, who inherit defective genes from both parents, generally die before the age of 13.

Extractions: Tommy Bennett Loses Battle with Sanfilippo Syndrome Tommy Bennett, the four-year-old boy from Ione who has been battling a metabolic disorder, died early Tuesday morning at Duke University Children's Center. Just a month ago, Tommy underwent a third stem cell transplant in an effort to fight Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare and almost invariably fatal genetic disorder in which the body lacks a key enzyme needed to break down sugar. As the incompletely metabolized sugar builds up in organ systems, the body begins to break down. Death usually results before age 20. Tommy Bennett was considered a good candidate for an experimental procedure, in which stems cells from umbilical cord blood are transplanted into the body of a Sanfilippo syndrome patient. Because stem cells have the unique ability to grow into virtually any other form of cells, they can transform in the cells that produce the missing enzyme. The results of the procedure were initially promising. Tommy Bennett's body began producing the enzyme-producing cells. However, earlier this month the boy's body began rejecting the transplanted cells. His lungs, liver and kidneys began to fail. He fell into a coma as his condition gradually deteriorated.

Extractions: A California family has come to Duke for an experimental treatment they hope will save one of their children's lives. All three of their kids have a rare genetic disease that will probably kill them by age 15. But a new procedure may give one boy a chance at life. The three children were born with Sanfilippo Syndrome. It's a rare disease that develops in the first few years of a child's life, and is often mis-diagnosed. There is no cure. The children's parents have brought them to Duke because it's the only medical center in the world doing stem cell transplants using umbilical cord blood to try to reverse some of the symptoms of Sanfilippo. John Bennett has brought his sons from northern California to Durham, to try to save their young lives. "Feed the fishies. Fishies like bread too." Three-year-old Tommy, and 4-year-old Hunter, are very sick with a rare genetic disease. Sanfilippo Syndrome robs their little bodies of an enzyme that breaks down sugar molecules. It causes severe brain and organ damage, and premature death. "Most Sanfilippo kids, if they do live to 15, are bedridden vegetables."

These diseases are autosomal recessive, except for MPS type II, which is X-linked. Pathophysiology: GAGs are long, linear polysaccharide molecules composed of repeating dimers, each of which contains a hexuronic acid (or galactose in the case of keratan sulfate) and an amino sugar. The large proteoglycan molecules made up of protein cores and GAG branches are secreted by cells and constitute a significant fraction of the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue. The turnover of these molecules depends on their subsequent internalization by endocytosis, their delivery to the lysosomes, and their digestion by lysosomal enzymes. The enzyme deficiencies lead to the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the lysosomes of the cells in the connective tissue and to an increase in their excretion in the urine. The types of MPSs linked to specific enzyme deficiencies are listed below; some have been assigned an Enzyme Commission (EC) number.

Extractions: Toggle English Spanish Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Sanfilippo syndrome is one of the hereditary mucopolysaccharide storage diseases, and it is characterized by the absence of one of several enzymes . These enzymes help the body get rid of a substance normally found outside of our cells called a mucopolysaccharide. This substance is called heparan sulfate, and in Sanfilippo syndrome, large amounts of it are excreted in the urine. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Sanfilippo syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. It is possibly the most common of the mucopolysaccharide storage diseases. Sanfilippo syndrome has a relatively late onset rather than during the first year of life. It shares, in common with most of the mucopolysaccharide storage diseases, coarse facial features, decreased mental development that progresses to severe
