The purpose of this study is to assess rates of decline in motor and cognitive functional measures, and to assess potential biomarkers, in order to identify potential outcome measure appropriate for use in therapeutic clinical trials.
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type III (Sanfilippo syndrome) is a group of four devastating genetic diseases that result in the abnormal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in body tissues. In MPSIII the predominant symptoms occur due to accumulation within the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and spinal cord, resulting in cognitive decline, motor dysfunction, and eventual death.
In anticipation for future therapeutic studies for MPSIIIA and MPSIIIB, we are performing a natural history study to identify the following:
Patients in this study will need to come to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, three times. At each of these three time points, cognitive outcome measures will be assessed: at baseline (visit 1), 6 months (visit 2), and at 12 months (visit 3). At baseline (visit 1) and 12 months (visit 3), an MRI and a lumbar puncture will be performed.
