AB Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is produced by the deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase B, responsible for the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and dermatan sulfate. A 3-year-old male with Moroccan origins is the index case. He had healthy consanguineous parents and 4 healthy brothers and sisters. The patient showed a wide spectrum of symptoms including skeletal dysplasia and short stature with elevated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in urine. GAGs were quantified by spectrometry method with 1,9-dimethylen blue in 24-hour urine samples. The qualitative analysis of urine GAGs was obtained by thin-layer chromatography to determine the predominant presence of dermatan sulfate. The activities of both arylsulfatase B and beta-galactosidase as well as genetic studies were performed in dried blood spots. The genetic study was performed with deoxyribonucleic acid by massive sequencing a of lisosomal storage diseases. Results showed a new mutation c.263A > C with the severe phenotype in homozygous in the patient. The familiar study of ARSB and GLB1 genes presented some asymptomatic SNPs but with a discrete decrease in the activity of arylsulfatase B and beta-galactosidase. After an early detection by pediatricians, and both enzymatic and genetic confirmation, the patient had a good response to substitutive enzymatic treatment with galsulfase. Mucoplysaccharidosis type VI is an autosomal recessive rare disease characterized by a lysosomal storage disorder. Although a number of mutations have been already associated to the disease, we have found a new mutation located in the arylsulfatase B enzyme gene. We have described that this mutation is the ultimate cause of a severe presentation of the disease.
