First Report of a Patient with MPS Type VII, Due to Novel Mutations in GUSB, Who Underwent Enzyme Replacement and Then Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

We report the case of a boy who was diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VII at two weeks of age. He harbored three missense β-glucuronidase (GUSB) variations in exon 3: two novel, c.422A>C and c.424C>T, inherited from his mother, and the rather common c.526C>T, inherited from his father. Expression of these variations in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated that the double mutation c.422A>C;424C>T reduces β-glucuronidase...
