Diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis

 

This test is not useful for establishing carrier status for alpha-mannosidosis.

Genetics Test Information
Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

Alpha-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent acid alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity.

 

Determining enzymatic activity is the next step of the diagnostic workup for an individual clinically suspicious for an oligosaccharidosis with a positive screening result suggestive of alpha-mannosidosis.

Diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis

 

This test is not useful for establishing carrier status for alpha-mannosidosis.

Genetics Test Information
Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

Alpha-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent acid alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity.

 

Determining enzymatic activity is the next step of the diagnostic workup for an individual clinically suspicious for an oligosaccharidosis with a positive screening result suggestive of alpha-mannosidosis.

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

Alpha-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent acid alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity. This enzyme is involved in glycoprotein catabolism, with absent or reduced activity resulting in the accumulation of undigested mannose-containing complex oligosaccharides in the lysosomes, disrupting the normal functioning of cells.

 

Clinical features and severity of symptoms are widely variable within alpha-mannosidosis but, in general, the disorder is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, immune deficiency, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability. Three clinical subtypes of the disorder have been described and vary with respect to age of onset and clinical presentation. Type 1 is generally classified by a mild presentation and slow progression with onset after 10 years of age and absence of skeletal abnormalities. Type 2 is generally a more moderate form with slow progression and onset prior to 10 years of age with skeletal abnormalities and myopathy. Type 3 is the most severe form with onset in early infancy, skeletal abnormalities such as dysostosis multiplex, and severe central nervous system involvement. Although treatment is mostly supportive and aimed at preventing complications, hematopoietic stem cell transplant has been reported to be a feasible therapeutic option. The incidence of alpha-mannosidosis is estimated at 1 in 500,000 live births.

 

An initial diagnostic workup may include a screening assay for several oligosaccharides in urine, OLIGU / Oligosaccharide Screen, Random, Urine. If the urine oligosaccharide screening assay is suggestive of alpha-mannosidosis, enzyme analysis of acid alpha-mannosidase can confirm the diagnosis. Molecular analysis of the MAN2B1 gene allows for detection of a disease-causing variant in affected individuals and subsequent carrier detection in relatives (see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing; specify MAN2B1 gene list ID: IEMCP-MUMNLV).

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.

> or =0.54 nmol/min/mg protein

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Values below 0.54 nmol/min/mg protein are consistent with a diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis.

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

No significant cautionary statements
