Beta-mannosidosis, also called lysosomal beta-mannosidase deficiency,
Symptoms and signs
The initial affected individual described in 1986 had a complex
angiokeratomas).[5]
Most cases are identified in the first year of life with
respiratory infections, hearing loss and intellectual disability. Because of its rarity, and non-specific clinical findings, beta-mannosidosis can go undiagnosed until adulthood, where it can present with intellectual disability and behavioral problems, including aggression.[6][1]
Cause
In terms of causation, several
Mechanism
The pathophysiology of this condition is better comprehended if one first looks at the normal function of beta-mannosidase, such as its function of breaking down disaccharides.[medical citation needed]
Beta-mannosidase function is consistent with it being a
glycoproteins).[8]
Diagnosis
A diagnosis of beta-mannosidosis is suspected based on the person's clinical presentation.
oligosaccharides is a useful screening test, and enzymatic analysis or molecular testing can be used for confirmation.[3]
Differential diagnosis
Diagnostic techniques for this condition can be done to offer a
histochemistry, to distinguish between alpha-mannosidosis and beta-mannosidosis.[9]
Treatment
There is currently no treatment available; individuals exhibiting muscle weakness or
seizures are treated based on symptoms.[4]
