Abstract

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are both independently inherited disorders. GSD is a member of a group of genetic disorders involving enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. GSD leads to abnormal tissue concentrations of glycogen, primarily in the liver, muscle, or both. MPS is a member of a group of inherited lysosomal storage diseases, which result from a deficiency in specific enzymatic activities and the accumulation of partially degraded acid mucopolysaccharides. A case of a 16-month-old boy who presented with hepatomegaly is reported. The liver was four finger-breadth-palpable. A laboratory study showed slightly increased serum AST and ALT levels. The liver biopsy showed microscopic features compatible with GSD. The liver glycogen content was 9.3% which was increased in comparison with the reference limit, but the glucose-6-phosphatase activity was within the normal limit. These findings suggested GSD other than type I. Bony abnormalities on skeletal radiographs, including an anterior beak and hook-shaped vertebrae, were seen. The mucopolysaccharide concentration in the urine was increased and the plasma iduronate sulfatase activity was low, which fulfilled the diagnosis criteria for Hunter syndrome (MPS type II). To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of GSD and Hunter syndrome being identified at the same time.

당원병(GSD)과 점액다당류증(MPS)은 각각 독립된 유전 질환으로, 각기 다른 대사에 관여하는 효소의 결핍으로 인해 전구물질이 축적되어 임상 증상을 나타낸다. 간비대는 두 질환 모두에서 나타나는 중요한 임상 양상이다. 저자들은 이 드문 두 질환이 한 환자에서 동시에 발견되어 이에 보고하고자 한다. 16개월 남아가 2개월 동안 반복적인 중이염을 앓았고, 인근 병원을 다니던 중 우연히 간비대가 발견되었다. 환아는 이마가 튀어나온 조악한 얼굴 모양을 가지고 있었다. 환아의 간은 4횡지 정도로 촉지되었고, 그 성상은 부드럽고 무른 느낌이었으나 경계가 예리하게 만져졌다. 혈액 검사상, AST와 ALT가 85 IU/L, 77 IU/L로 약간 상승되어 있었다. 공복 저혈당은 보이지 않았고, 혈청 젖산, 요산, 콜레스테롤 모두 정상 소견을 보였다. 복부 초음파에서는 간의 메아리 발생 정도(echogenecity)가 증가되어 있었다. 간 생검을 실시하였고, 현미경 검사상 둥근 간세포들이 관찰되었는데, 그 간세포 내에는 Periodic Acid-Schiff 염색에서 진하게 염색되는 거대한 당원 입자들 다수와 이와 동반된 지방 공포(lipid vacuole)가 포함되어 있었다. 전자현미경에서 간세포의 핵과 세포질 모두에 당원 입자들이 포함되어 있었고 거대한 미토콘드리아도 관찰할 수 있었다. 생검을 통해 채취한 간 조직을 분석한 결과, 간의 당원 함량은 9.3%로 정상수치에 비해 증가되어 있었으나, 간의 glucose-6-phosphatase 활성도는 정상이어서 Ia형이 아닌 당원병으로 진단하게 되었다. 한편, X 선상 척추 앞면의 부리모양(beak-shape)와 J 모양의 안장(sella)과 같은 여러 골격의 이상 소견을 보였으며, 소변의 점액다당류 농도 또한 증가되어 있었다. Iduronate sulfatase 활성도가 0.1 nmol/hr/mg protein로 낮은 소견을 보여 헌터 증후군(제2형 점액다당류증, MPS type II)으로 진단할 수 있었다. 이에 저자들은 상기 환자가 당원병과 헌터증후군이 동시에 발견된 첫 환자로 생각되어 보고하는 바이다.
