The Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Type VI, also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the body’s inability to break down certain large molecules known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). This inability leads to the accumulation of GAGs within cells, causing various systemic symptoms including skeletal abnormalities, vision and hearing impairment, and cardiovascular issues. The condition is caused by mutations in the ARSB gene, leading to deficient activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase B.

To diagnose MPS Type VI and to help manage its treatment, a quantitative blood test can be utilized. This test measures the activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase B in the blood, providing crucial information for the diagnosis of Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. Early diagnosis through such testing is essential for the effective management and treatment of the disorder, which may include enzyme replacement therapy and other supportive measures to improve quality of life and reduce the severity of symptoms.

Test Details:

A quantitative blood test for Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Type VI, also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, measures the levels of the enzyme arylsulfatase B (ASB) in the blood. MPS Type VI is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunctioning of this enzyme, leading to the accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues and organs.

To perform the quantitative blood test, a blood sample is taken from the individual and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory measures the activity or levels of ASB in the blood using specialized techniques. If the levels of ASB are significantly reduced or absent, it indicates a possible diagnosis of MPS Type VI.

This quantitative blood test helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of MPS Type VI. It can be used to confirm a suspected diagnosis based on clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests. Additionally, it can be used to assess the effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in individuals receiving treatment for MPS Type VI.

It is important to note that a quantitative blood test for MPS Type VI is just one component of the diagnostic process. Other diagnostic tests, such as urine analysis, genetic testing, and imaging studies, may also be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the extent of organ involvement. A consultation with a medical geneticist or a specialist in metabolic disorders is recommended for accurate diagnosis and management of MPS Type VI.
