Monday, November 25, 2002 Hope at Duke for Children with Sanfilippo Syndrome By Angela Hampton
We have an update on a story about three children with Sanfilippo Syndrome - a rare genetic disease that is usually fatal. But one of the children was eligible for an experimental and potentially life-saving treatment at Duke. He received that treatment Friday, and now his parents and doctors are waiting for a miracle. Three-year-old, Tommy Bennett has spent more time in the hospital than most people will in a lifetime. But this trip to Duke could save his life. On Friday, Tommy received a stem cell transplant from umbilical-cord blood. "It's coming, slowly, but surely." Tommy's parents Alicia and John Bennett believe the 20-minute transfusion was the beginning of the rest of their son's life. The Bennetts' came to Duke from California to help all three of their children. Tommy, along with 4-year-old Hunter, and 6-year-old Ciara have the rare genetic disease Sanfilippo Syndrome. Their bodies are missing an enzyme that leads to brain and organ damage and kills most kids in their teens. But only Tommy's illness is potentially treatable, because it isn't as advanced.

Monday, November 04, 2002 Sanfilippo Syndrome By Angela Hampton
A California family has come to Duke for an experimental treatment they hope will save one of their children's lives. All three of their kids have a rare genetic disease that will probably kill them by age 15. But a new procedure may give one boy a chance at life. The three children were born with Sanfilippo Syndrome. It's a rare disease that develops in the first few years of a child's life, and is often mis-diagnosed. There is no cure. The children's parents have brought them to Duke because it's the only medical center in the world doing stem cell transplants using umbilical cord blood to try to reverse some of the symptoms of Sanfilippo. John Bennett has brought his sons from northern California to Durham, to try to save their young lives. "Feed the fishies. Fishies like bread too." Three-year-old Tommy, and 4-year-old Hunter, are very sick with a rare genetic disease. Sanfilippo Syndrome robs their little bodies of an enzyme that breaks down sugar molecules. It causes severe brain and organ damage, and premature death. "Most Sanfilippo kids, if they do live to 15, are bedridden vegetables."

Mutations for each gene for MPS are being tabulated to describe the global experience. In each case, clicking on the HUGO abbreviation (denoted in parentheses) links to a Mutation Database for that gene. In many cases, such mutation can be "correlated" with various phenotypes (i.e., "genotype-phenotype correlation") with the hobe that the cummulative experience will provide predictive information (i.e., "prognosis") as well as assist in the interpretation of experimental clinical trials.

Sanfilippo syndrome
Definition: Sanfilippo syndrome is one of the hereditary mucopolysaccharide storage diseases, and it is characterized by the absence of one of several enzymes . These enzymes help the body get rid of a substance normally found outside of our cells called a mucopolysaccharide. This substance is called heparan sulfate, and in Sanfilippo syndrome, large amounts of it are excreted in the urine.
Alternative Names: Mucopolysaccharidosis type III (subtypes A - B - C-D); Type IIIA = heparan sulfate sulfatase deficiency; Type IIIB = N-acetylglucosaminidase deficiency; Type IIID = N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase deficiency
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Sanfilippo syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. It is possibly the most common of the mucopolysaccharide storage diseases. Sanfilippo syndrome has a relatively late onset rather than during the first year of life. It shares, in common with most of the mucopolysaccharide storage diseases, coarse facial features, decreased mental development that progresses to severe mental retardation , stiff joints, gait disturbances, speech disturbances , and behavioral problems.

Treatment: There is no specific treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome. Specific complications may respond to conventional treatments as they arise.
Support Groups: National MPS Society, Inc. 610-942-0100 www.mpssociety.org
Expectations (prognosis): Severe retardation is the most important of the clinical problems. IQs may be below 50. Severe cases lead to death before 20 years of age. In a minority of cases, Sanfilippo is compatible with a normal lifespan. The affected person may develop retinal degeneration leading to blindness , or may have seizures
Complications:
  • Blindness Seizures Mental retardation Progressive neurologic disease leading to becoming wheelchair bound Inability to care for self

Calling your health care provider: Call your health care provider if your child does not seem to be growing or developing normally.

MPS III - Sanfilippo
Characteristics of MPS III Medical Problems of those affected by MPS III Current Research into MPS III Sanfilippo Syndrome is also known as MPS III. It takes its name from Dr. Sylvester Sanfilippo who was one of the doctors in the United States who described the condition in 1963. To date four different enzyme deficiencies have been found to cause Sanfilippo Syndrome and so the condition is described as type A, B, C, or D. These enzymes are: Sanfilippo A Heparan-N-sulphatase Sanfilippo B a -N-Acetylgucosaminidase Sanfilippo C AcetylCoA:N-acetyltransferase Sanfilippo D N-Acetylglucosamine 6-sulphatase There is usually very little difference between the four types of the disorder but there have been some very mild cases of the B form where the affected individuals have remained relatively healthy into adult life. The latest understanding is that some people seem to produce some enzyme activity which helps to slow down the progression of the disorder whilst those with more severe symptoms appear to have no enzyme activity (or function) at all. It is important to understand that all those with Sanfilippo syndrome have the same condition, even if some have a milder form. The combined incidence of Sanfilippo syndrome is 1 in 66,000, however each of the particular types is rarer again. The Australian prevalence of MPS IIIA is 1 in 114,000, MPS IIIB is 1 in 211,000, MPS IIIC is 1 in 1,407,000 and MPS IIID is 1 in 1,056,000.
