Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) was first described by Dr. Charles Hunter in 1917. Since then, about one hundred years have passed and Hunter syndrome, although at first neglected for a few decades and afterwards mistaken for a long time for the similar disorder Hurler syndrome, has been clearly distinguished as a specific disease since 1978, when the distinct genetic causes of the two disorders were finally identified. MPS II is a rare genetic disorder, recently described as presenting an incidence rate ranging from 0.38 to 1.09 per 100,000 live male births, and it is the only X-linked-inherited mucopolysaccharidosis. The complex disease is due to a deficit of the lysosomal hydrolase iduronate 2-sulphatase, which is a crucial enzyme in the stepwise degradation of heparan and dermatan sulphate. This contributes to a heavy clinical phenotype involving most organ-systems, including the brain, in at least two-thirds of cases. In this review, we will summarize the history of the disease during this century through clinical and laboratory evaluations that allowed its definition, its correct diagnosis, a partial comprehension of its pathogenesis, and the proposition of therapeutic protocols. We will also highlight the main open issues related to the possible inclusion of MPS II in newborn screenings, the comprehension of brain pathogenesis, and treatment of the neurological compartment.

Цель: представление клинического случая успешного преимплантационного генетического тестирования моногенного заболевания (ПГТ-М) - мукополисахаридоза второго типа (МПС II, синдром Хантера). Методы. Супружеская пара (32 и 31 год), имеющая ребенка с МПС II, обратилась за проведением ПГТ-М (патогенный вариант гена IDS - c.613delG). У женщины также имелась инверсия хромосомы 10. Для семьи была разработана система таргетного преимплантационного тестирования МПС II, валидирована на единичных лимфоцитах и продуктах полногеномной амплификации. Использовали метод двухраундной ПЦР с детекцией фрагментным анализом. В двух программах экстракорпорального оплодотворения (ЭКО) применяли стандартные протоколы стимуляции суперовуляции, оплодотворение проводили методом ИКСИ (инъекция сперматозоида в цитоплазму ооцита). Биопсию эмбрионов выполняли на пятые сутки развития (один эмбрион на шестые), эмбрионы витрифицировали. ПГТ-М проводили в транспортном варианте по схеме, разработанной на подготовительном этапе. Пренатальную диагностику выполняли методом хорионбиопсии, анализировали кариотип, ген IDS и пол плода. Результаты. При разработке системы были подобраны и протестированы 14 STR-маркеров (коротких тандемных повторов), сцепленных с геном IDS, из которых половина была информативна и давала амплификацию для единичных клеток. Разработанная для семьи система ПГТ-М МПС II включала анализ патогенного варианта гена IDS, семи информативных STR-маркеров, генов AMEL и SRY. Преимплантационное тестирование анеуплоидии не проводилось (пациентка отказалась). В первой программе ЭКО протестировано и рекомендовано к переносу три эмбриона, однако перенос был отложен по желанию супружеской пары. Во второй программе ЭКО пять эмбрионов были протестированы, три рекомендованы к переносу. Проведен криоперенос одного эмбриона мужского пола с нормальной хромосомой X в отношении патогенного варианта гена IDS. Наступила одноплодная беременность. Пренатальная диагностика полностью подтвердила результаты ПГТ-М. Беременность успешно завершилась срочными родами здорового мальчика в июле 2021 года. Заключение Разработанная нами система, успешное проведение всех этапов ЭКО и ПГТ-М и хороший репродуктивный потенциал супружеской пары позволили достичь беременности и рождения здорового ребенка в семье с высоким генетическим риском в отношении МПС II. Aim: we report of our data of successful preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M) for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome). Methods. A couple (32 and 31 years old) with Hunter syndrome affected child asked for PGT-M for MPS II (pathogenic variant c.613delG of the IDS gene). In addition, the woman has an inversion of chromosome 10. A system of targeted preimplantation testing was developed for the family, validated on single lymphocytes and whole genome amplification products.. Nested PCR method and fragmentary analysis were used for molecular genetic studies. Two IVF (in vitro fertilization) programs was carried out. Standard protocols for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with fertilization by ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) were used. Embryo biopsy was performed on the 5th day of embryo development (day 6th for one embryo), embryos were vitrified. Transport PGT-M (PGT for monogenic/single gene defects) was carried using system created at pre-examination setup. Prenatal diagnosis was performed using the chorion villus biopsy method; karyotype, IDS gene and fetal sex were analyzed. Results. During setup, 14 STR (short tandem repeat) markers linked to the IDS gene were selected and tested, half of them were informative and acceptable for single cells. Developed for the family the PGT-M MPS II system included analysis of a pathogenic variant of the IDS gene, seven informative STR markers, AMEL and SRY genes. No PGT-A (PGT for aneuploidy) was carried out. In the first IVF program, three embryos were tested and recommended for transfer, but the transfer was postponed at the patient request. In the second IVF program, five embryos were tested, three recommended for transfer. Frozen single embryo transfer of normal male embryo at the second of IVF-PGT-M program was carried out. A singleton pregnancy was achieved. Prenatal diagnosis fully confirmed PGT-M results. A healthy boy was delivered in July 2021. Conclusions. The successful implementation IVF-PGT-M with developed system and good reproductive potential of the couple made it possible to achieve pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child in a family with a high genetic risk for MPS II.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a lysosomal storage disorder based on a mutation in the IDS gene that encodes iduronate 2-sulphatase. As a result, there is an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans—heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate—in almost all body tissues, which leads to their dysfunction. Currently, the primary treatment is enzyme replacement therapy, which improves the course of the disease by reducing somatic symptoms, including hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. The enzyme, however, does not cross the blood–brain barrier, and no improvement in the function of the central nervous system has been observed in patients with the severe form of the disease. An alternative method of treatment that solves typical problems of enzyme replacement therapy is gene therapy, i.e., delivery of the correct gene to target cells through an appropriate vector. Much progress has been made in applying gene therapy for MPS II, from cellular models to human clinical trials. In this article, we briefly present the history and basics of gene therapy and discuss the current state of knowledge about the methods of this therapy in mucopolysaccharidosis type II.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is rare hereditary disease caused by changes in the IDS gene and associated deficiency of lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S). The main treatment scheme for children with MPS II is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human I2S. The major issue of ERT is development of allergic (sometimes up to severe anaphylaxis) reactions to recombinant enzymes. The article covers features of infusion-related reactions to ERT, it describes pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria management algorithm of anaphylaxis. Whereas, there is the need of further studies on allergic infusion-related reactions to ERT in children.
