Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV-A (Morquio A disease) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase, that results in impaired catabolism of two glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate. Clinical presentations reflect a spectrum of progression from a severe phenotype to an attenuated expression. Accumulation of substrate manifests predominantly as short stature and skeletal dysplasia, including atlantoaxial instability and cervical cord compression. Other abnormalities in the visual, auditory, cardiovascular and respiratory systems can also affect individuals with Morquio disease. Elosulfase alfa showed in clinical trials in children and adults a significant and sustained improvement in endurance and urinary levels of keratan sulfate. Data from the ongoing observational, multinational Morquio A Registry Study will provide valuable information on the long-term efficacy and safety of elosulfase alfa in patients, as well as on the natural history of this very rare disease.
IV-A型黏多糖贮积症(莫尔基奥A病)是一种常染色体隐性溶酶体贮积病,由编码N-乙酰半乳糖胺-6-硫酸酯硫酸酯酶的基因突变引起,该突变导致两种糖胺聚糖——硫酸软骨素-6和硫酸角质素的分解代谢受损。临床表现反映了从严重表型到轻度表达的一系列进展。底物的积累主要表现为身材矮小和骨骼发育异常,包括寰枢椎不稳和颈髓受压。视觉、听觉、心血管和呼吸系统的其他异常也会影响莫尔基奥病患者。艾洛硫酸酯酶α在儿童和成人临床试验中显示,耐力和尿中硫酸角质素水平有显著且持续的改善。正在进行的多中心莫尔基奥A注册观察性研究的数据将为艾洛硫酸酯酶α在患者中的长期疗效和安全性以及这种极为罕见疾病的自然史提供有价值的信息。
