BACKGROUND: Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is an X-linked disorder resulting from a deficiency in lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), which causes the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the lysosomes of many tissues and organs, leading to progressive cellular dysfunction. An MPS II newborn screening program has been available in Taiwan since 2015. The aim of the current study was to collect and analyze the long-term follow-up data of the screen-positive subjects in this program. METHODS: From August 2015 to April 2022, 548,624 newborns were screened for MPS II by dried blood spots using tandem mass spectrometry, of which 202 suspected infants were referred to our hospital for confirmation. The diagnosis of MPS II was confirmed by IDS enzyme activity assay in leukocytes, quantitative determination of urinary GAGs by mass spectrometry, and identification of the IDS gene variant. RESULTS: Among the 202 referred infants, 10 (5%) with seven IDS gene variants were diagnosed with confirmed MPS II (Group 1), 151 (75%) with nine IDS gene variants were classified as having suspected MPS II or pseudodeficiency (Group 2), and 41 (20%) with five IDS gene variants were classified as not having MPS II (Group 3). Long-term follow-up every 6 months was arranged for the infants in Group 1 and Group 2. Intravenous enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) was started in four patients at 1, 0.5, 0.4, and 0.5 years of age, respectively. Three patients also received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at 1.5, 0.9, and 0.6 years of age, respectively. After ERT and/or HSCT, IDS enzyme activity and the quantity of urinary GAGs significantly improved in all of these patients compared with the baseline data. CONCLUSIONS: Because of the progressive nature of MPS II, early diagnosis via a newborn screening program and timely initiation of ERT and/or HSCT before the occurrence of irreversible organ damage may lead to better clinical outcomes. The findings of the current study could serve as baseline data for the analysis of the long-term effects of ERT and HSCT in these patients.
