Abstract:
:Mucolipidosis type II is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferese deficiency. We report here pathological findings of an autopsy case of mucolipidosis type II. The patient was an 8-year-old boy with mucolipidosis type II and was complicated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He suddenly developed progressive respiratory failure and finally died. At autopsy, systemic accumulation of undigested lysosomal metabolites was prominent, particularly in the heart, lungs, and dorsal root ganglion. In cardiomyocyte, LC3, an autophagy marker, was positive in the cytoplasm. Ubiquitin, p62, K48 polyubiquitin, and K63 polyubiquitin were also positive in the cytoplasm. Our findings suggest that autophagic dysfunction might be associated with the cardiomyopahty of mucolipidosis type II.
