It is intended to be an informational resource for parents and laymen. It should not be used for diagnostic or treatment purposes. Professionals or scientists may want to search in the Online Mendelian Inheritance In Man database for additional aspects of the disease.

Clinical Information
How long has the disease been known?
The existence of so-called Hurler-like diseases had been known for many years when in 1967 Oeckermann in Lund, Sweden, described a boy who represented an isolated case of an apparently new disorder. Mental retardation, susceptibility to infection, coarse features, and skeletal abnormalities were seen. Unnormal white blood cells containing so-called vacuoles were found. The child died in an infection, and in the tissues total mannose, a particular sugar, was strikingly increased and alpha-mannosidase activity, the enzyme which normally should take care of these sugars, showed to be only a few per cent of expected. Since then, the disease has also been found in a number of other species, like in cattle and in cats.

Beta-Mannosidosis
Beta-mannosidosis is a genetic defect of Nubians which is similar to G-6-S in its mode of transmission and in the method recommended for its management. Like G-6-S, it is confined to Nubian goats, it is caused by a simple recessive gene, and a DNA test is available to distinguish normal, carrier, and affected animals. As for G-6-S, the optimal management strategy, the one which offers the best balance between getting rid of the bad gene and saving the good genes, is to use only normal bucks. Unlike G-6-S, beta-Mannosidosis is rapidly fatal and no affected goats grow up to breed. For that reason the incidence of this defect is lower than the incidence of G-6-S, with only about 13% of the population being carriers. An affected kid is born with what looks like cerebral palsy. The kid is unable to stand or to hold up its head, and it shakes if it tries to do anything (intentional tremor). If it tries to reach the nipple it shakes violently and fails, but if the nipple is put in its mouth it calms down and is able to suck. It may also have skeletal deformities, and twitching eye movement and be deaf, but these symptoms are more obscure and variable. The cause of these difficulties is the lack of an enzyme which normally removes certain sugars from the cells. These sugars accumulate in the cells, and the cells of the nervous system show the effects first. Even with the best care the kid will die within a few weeks at the most.

Mannosidosis
Mannosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder of the oligosaccharide family and closely related to the Mucopolysaccharidoses. Alpha-Mannosidosis was first described by Dr Oekermann, from Lund in Sweden, in 1967. There is another variant known as Beta-Mannosidosis which is extremely rare and has produced a wide range of clinical abnormalities in the few patients described with this disorder. Mannosidosis is an enzyme deficiency disorder which results in defective mannosidase activity and the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains. This accumulation is responsible for many problems that affect individuals with Mannosidosis. Whilst there is no cure for individuals affected by this disorder, a booklet published by the MPS Society sets out to demonstrate how Mannosidosis may present and how it may be clinically managed. The prospect of new therapies is also addressed. The booklet draws on the experiences of parents and doctors and with reference to medical literature.
