Abstract
AbstractBackgroundMultiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused due to pathogenic variants in theSUMF1gene. The SUMF1 gene encodes for formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE) that is involved in the catalytic activation of the family of sulfatases. The affected patients present with a wide spectrum of clinical features including multi-organ involvement. To date, almost 140 cases of MSD have been reported worldwide, with only four cases reported from India. The present study describes two cases of late infantile form of MSD from India and the identification of a novel missense variant in the SUMF1 gene.Case presentationIn case 1, a male child presented to us at the age of 6 years. The remarkable presenting features included ichthyosis, presence of irritability, poor social response, thinning of corpus callosum on MRI and, speech regression. Clinical suspicion of MSD was confirmed by enzyme analysis of two sulfatase enzymes followed by gene sequencing. We identified a novel missense variant c.860A > T (p.Asn287Ile) in exon 7 of theSUMF1gene. In case 2, a two and a half years male child presented with ichthyosis, leukodystrophy and facial dysmorphism. We performed an enzyme assay for two sulfatases, which showed significantly reduced activities thereby confirming MSD diagnosis.ConclusionOverall, present study has added to the existing data on MSD from India. Based on the computational analysis, the novel variant c.860A > T identified in this study is likely to be associated with a milder phenotype and prolonged survival.
