We investigated the possibility of prenatal diagnosis of mucolipidosis type II (ML II) by lysosomal enzyme determination on amniotic fluid obtained at 11 weeks of gestation in three pregnancies at risk. Diagnosis of ML II was made in one case on the basis of increased levels of five lysosomal enzymes tested. The diagnosis was confirmed on cultured chorionic cells, their cultured medium, 17-week amniotic fluid, and fetal plasma obtained for confirmation prior to the termination of pregnancy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008361 Mannosidases Glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of alpha or beta linked MANNOSE. Mannosidase
D009081 Mucolipidoses A group of inherited metabolic diseases characterized by the accumulation of excessive amounts of acid mucopolysaccharides, sphingolipids, and/or glycolipids in visceral and mesenchymal cells. Abnormal amounts of sphingolipids or glycolipids are present in neural tissue. INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and skeletal changes, most notably dysostosis multiplex, occur frequently.

D002553 Cerebroside-Sulfatase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cerebroside 3-sulfate (sulfatide) to yield a cerebroside and inorganic sulfate. A marked deficiency of arylsulfatase A, which is considered the heat-labile component of cerebroside sulfatase, has been demonstrated in all forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (LEUKODYSTROPHY, METACHROMATIC).
