Sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease, ranged as oligosaccharidosis, is a genetic enzyme defect with a significantly restricted survival rate of the child concerned. After the preceded birth of a child who died of sialidosis, we succeeded in the correct prenatal exclusion of the disease with the prediction of a heterocygotic carrier status by biochemical analysis of cultivated amnion cells. The growth of these cells as well as the postnatal examined fibroblasts was significantly reduced. The possibility of the prenatal diagnosis of sialidosis allowed a pregnancy following the birth of a diseased child.

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.
