Non-progressive Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis Caused by a Novel Mutation in GUSB Gene.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) or Sly syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of ?-glucuronidase enzyme, which is involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans. The lack of ?-glucuronidase in this lysosomal storage disorder is characterized by various manifestations such as nonimmune hydrops fetalis, spinal deformity, organomegaly, dysostosis multiplex, intellectual disability, and eye involvement. It is caused by a mutation in GUSB gene located on chromosome 7 q11. The current study reported an Iranian female with MPS VII and a novel mutation (c.542G>T, p.Arg181Leu) in GUSB gene.

Objectives: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) or Sly syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of β-glucuronidase enzyme, which is involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans. The lack of β-glucuronidase in this lysosomal storage disorder is characterized by various manifestations such as nonimmune hydrops fetalis, spinal deformity, organomegaly, dysostosis multiplex, intellectual disability, and eye involvement.

Project description:BackgroundThe cause of most fetal anomalies is not determined prenatally. Exome sequencing has transformed genetic diagnosis after birth, but its usefulness for prenatal diagnosis is still emerging. Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF), a fetal abnormality that is often lethal, has numerous genetic causes; the extent to which exome sequencing can aid in its diagnosis is unclear.MethodsWe evaluated a series of 127 consecutive unexplained cases of NIHF that were defined by the presence of fetal ascites, pleural or pericardial effusions, skin edema, cystic hygroma, increased nuchal translucency, or a combination of these conditions. The primary outcome was the diagnostic yield of exome sequencing for detecting genetic variants that were classified as either pathogenic or likely pathogenic according to the criteria of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Secondary outcomes were the percentage of cases associated with specific genetic disorders and the proportion of variants that were inherited.ResultsIn 37 of the 127 cases (29%), we identified diagnostic genetic variants, including those for disorders affecting the RAS-MAPK cell-signaling pathway (known as RASopathies) (30% of the genetic diagnoses); inborn errors of metabolism and musculoskeletal disorders (11% each); lymphatic, neurodevelopmental, cardiovascular, and hematologic disorders (8% each); and others. Prognoses ranged from a relatively mild outcome to death during the perinatal period. Overall, 68% of the cases (25 of 37) with diagnostic variants were autosomal dominant (of which 12% were inherited and 88% were de novo), 27% (10 of 37) were autosomal recessive (of which 95% were inherited and 5% were de novo), 1 was inherited X-linked recessive, and 1 was of uncertain inheritance. We identified potentially diagnostic variants in an additional 12 cases.ConclusionsIn this large case series of 127 fetuses with unexplained NIHF, we identified a diagnostic genetic variant in approximately one third of the cases.
