Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by the deficiency of iduronate sulfatase enzyme due to variants in the IDS gene. Clinical features and severity of symptoms are widely variable ranging from severe infantile onset disease to an attenuated form, which generally has a later onset with a milder clinical presentation. Symptoms may include coarse facies, short stature, enlarged liver and spleen, hoarse voice, stiff joints, cardiac disease, and profound neurologic involvement leading to developmental delays and regression. As an X-linked disorder, MPS II occurs primarily in male patients with an estimated incidence of 1 in 120,000 male births, although symptomatic carrier females have been reported. Treatment availability, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy, makes early diagnosis desirable, as early initiation of treatment has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. Newborn screening for MPS II has been implemented in some states.

 

A diagnostic workup in an individual with MPS II includes urine or blood glycosaminoglycans levels showing increased amounts of both dermatan and heparan sulfate (see MPSQU / Mucopolysaccharides Quantitative, Random, Urine and MPSBS / Mucopolysaccharidosis, Blood Spot). Reduced or absent activity of iduronate sulfatase can confirm a diagnosis of MPS II but may also be deficient in unaffected individuals with pseudodeficiency as well as individuals with multiple sulfatase deficiency. Enzymatic testing is not reliable to detect carriers. Molecular genetic testing of the IDS gene allows for detection of the disease-causing variant in affected patients and subsequent carrier detection in female relatives (see MPS2Z / Hunter Syndrome, Full Gene Analysis, Varies).

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

>2.20 nmol/hour/mg protein

 

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Abnormal results are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis of a particular disease. To verify a preliminary diagnosis based on this assay, additional biochemical or molecular genetic analyses are required.

 

When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, elements of differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional biochemical testing, and in vitro, confirmatory studies (enzyme assay, molecular analysis), and a phone number to reach one of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Individuals with pseudodeficiency alleles can show reduced enzyme activity.

 

Carrier status (heterozygosity) for these conditions cannot be reliably detected.

 

Enzyme levels may be normal in individuals receiving enzyme replacement therapy or who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

 

Iduronate-2-sulfatase can also be deficient in individuals with multiple sulfatase deficiency.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Leukocytes are incubated with four cocktail mixes: 1) substrate and internal standard (IS) for iduronate 2-sulfatase, heparan N-sulfatase, alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, N-acetylgalactosamine-sulfate, beta-galactosidase, arylsulfatase B, beta-glucuronidase, and tripeptidyl peptidase 1; 2) substrate and IS for acetyl-CoA:alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase; 3) substrate and IS for N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase; and 4) substrate and IS for palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 in 96-well plates. Following overnight incubation, the plates are combined and purified by liquid-liquid extraction. The extracts are evaporated, reconstituted with mobile phase, and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry.(Unpublished Mayo method)
