Analysis of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VI through Integrative Functional Metabolomics.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic phenotyping is poised as a powerful and promising tool for biomarker discovery in inherited metabolic diseases. However, few studies applied this approach to mcopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Thus, this innovative functional approach may unveil comprehensive impairments in MPS biology. This study explores mcopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux⁻Lamy syndrome (OMIM #253200) which is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase B enzyme. Urine samples were collected from 16 MPS VI patients and 66 healthy control individuals. Untargeted metabolomics analysis was applied using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with ion mobility and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Furthermore, dermatan sulfate, amino acids, carnitine
