dysostosis multiplex, found in mucopolysaccharidoses (lysosomal storage disease)
-along with organomegaly, short stature, MR

277
Q

progressively coarsened facial features, frontal bossing, thickened nasopharyngeal tissues, corneal clouding, hydrocephalus
what is it, what is it caused by

A

hurler syndrome- AR
alpha-L-iduronidase deficiency
most severe mucopolysaccharidosis

278
Q

how to dx hurler syndrome

A

dermatan and heparan sulfates in urine

decreased alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme activity in leukocytes or fibroblasts

279
Q

how to manage hurler and what’s the prognosis

A

tx with early BMT

death by age 10-15 years

280
Q

HSM, hearing loss, small papules over shoulder/scapula,lower back, dysostosis multiplex, NO corneal clouding
what is it
how is it inherited
tx and prog

A

Hunter syndrome
X linked recessive
dx same as for Hurler (derma tan and heparin sulfates in urine, decreased alpha-L-iduronidase activity)
no tx and death by 20 years

281
Q

rapid and severe mental and motor retardation- a mucopolysaccharidosis

A

sanfilippo syndrome

282
Q

mucopolysaccharidosis that does not have mental retardation

-instead, severe scoliosis leading to cor pulmonale results in death by age 40

A

morquio syndrome

283
Q

episodes of personality changes/emotional lability/paresthesias/weakness, colicky abdominal pain, tachycardia/HTN/sweating/fever, and dark burgundy-colored urine

A

porphyrias- elevated serum porphyrins

284
Q

what can precipitate AIP episodes

A

drugs- alcohol, sulfa drugs, OCPs
hormonal surges- pregnancy, menses
poor nutrition

285
Q

how to dx porphyria

A

increased serum and urine porphobilinogen

286
Q

how to manage porphyria

A

IV glucose
correct electrolytes
avoid fasting and precipitating drugs

287
Q

defect in copper excretion

  • kayser fleischer rings
  • behavior changes, dystonia, dysarthria, tremors, ataxia, seizures
  • hepatic dysfunction
A

Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular degeneration)

AR disorder

288
Q

how to dx wilson’s disease

A

low serum ceruloplasmin- screening test

elevated serum and urine copper

289
Q

how to tx wilson’s disease

A

avoid copper-containing foods (ex. nuts, liver, shellfish, chocolate)
chelation with oral penicillamine and zinc salts
+/- liver transplant

290
Q

abnormal copper transport causes low serum copper

-myoclonic seizures, pale kinky friable hair, optic nerve atrophy, severe, MR, early death

A

menkes kinky-hair disease

291
Q

joints in marfan vs homocystinuria

A

joint laxity in marfan

large stiff joints in homocystinuria
