초록

뮤코지방증 III alpha/beta는 GNPTAB 유전자의 돌연변이로 야기되는 점액(Mucolipids) 분해 능력 장애이며 상염색체 열성으로 유전된다. 이는 혈액에서 고농축의 점액을 검사하여 진단되며 유전자 검사를 통해 진단을 확인할 수 있다. 뮤코지방증 III형은 희귀하고 점진적으로 진행하는 대사장애로 증상은 3세 경에 나타나며 성장지연, 관절 경직, 관절통, 골격 이상, 심장 판막 이상, 반복되는 호흡기 감염, 평평한 얼굴과 낮은 콧대의 거친 얼굴, 지적장애 또는 학습 문제를 보인다. 본 증례는 성장 지연과 거친 얼굴을 보이는 4세, 2세 7개월 남매에서 targeted gene panel sequencing으로 [c.2715+1G>A (p.Glu906Leufs*4), c.2544del (p. Glu849Lysfs*22)] 두 개의 변이가 이형 접합체로 발견되어 뮤코지방증 III형을 진단하였으며 c.2544del 은 새로운 돌연변이로 대조군에서 발견되지 않았고 표현형과 연관성 고려 시 pathogenic variant로 해석된다. 이와 같이 GNPTAB 유전자에서 새로운 돌연변이가 확인되어 뮤코지방증 III형 남매 증례를 보고하는 바이다. 본 증례처럼 최근 분자유전학적 기술이 발달함에 따라 조기 진단이 가능해지고 진단 후 Case 1 환자에서와 같이 치료를 위하여 pamidronate 투약 가능하나, 이와 같은 보조적 치료 외에도 조기 진단을 받은 뮤코지방증 환자들을 위한 근본적인 치료법 개발을 위한 노력이 필요하다.

Mucolipidosis type III (pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy) is a mucolipids degrading disorder caused by a mutation in the GNPTAB gene and is inherited by autosomal recessive. It is diagnosed by examining highly concentrated mucolipids in blood and the diagnosis can be confirmed by genetic testing. Mucolipidosis type III is a rare and progressive metabolic disorder. Its initial signs and symptoms usually occur around 3 years of age. Clinical manifestations of the disease include slow growth, joint stiffness, arthralgia, skeletal abnormalities, heart valve abnormalities, recurrent respiratory infection, distinctive facial features, and mild intellectual disability. Here, we are presenting two siblings of mucolipidosis type III, a 4-year-old female and a 2 years and 7 months old male with features of delayed growth and coarse face. The diagnosis was confirmed by [c.2715+1G>A(p.Glu906Leufs*4), c.2544del(p.Glu849Lysfs*22)] mutation in targeted gene panel sequencing. In this case, c.2544del is a heterozygote newly identified mutation in mucolipidosis type III and was not found in the control group including the genome aggregation database. And it is interpreted as a pathogenic variant considering the association with phenotype. Here, we report a Korean mucolipidosis type III patients with novel mutations in GNPTAB gene who have been treated since early childhood. Owing to recent development of molecular genetic techniques, it was possible to make early diagnosis and treatment with pamidronate was initiated appropriately in case 1. In addition to these supportive therapies, efforts must be made to develop fundamental treatment for patients with early diagnosis of mucolipidosis.
