Because the combination of hypotonia and developmental delay are nonspecific, individuals with MLIV are frequently assigned a provisional diagnosis of cerebral palsy during their diagnostic odyssey. Corneal clouding is a more specific disease feature and identification by an ophthalmologist on slit lamp examination often leads to diagnosis by targeted genetic testing.</p><p><b>Neurologic findings.</b> Axial hypotonia and delayed motor development are frequently the earliest neurologic features.

Fine motor function is severely limited. Individuals may articulate a modified pincer or scissor grasp, but rarely a superior pincer grasp. Most individuals are able to feed themselves finger foods and a few have successfully used modified utensils.</p><p>Pyramidal and extrapyramidal tract signs manifest early in the course of disease. In the first decade of life, individuals exhibit a mixture of spasticity and rigidity with cogwheel or oppositional qualities. Dystonic posturing in the extremities is frequently observed. Hypertonicity is present in the upper and lower extremities and is generally symmetric. Decreased force on volitional activation of the extremities is consistent with upper motor neuron weakness, but worsening muscular hypertonicity suggests relative preservation of muscle and neuromuscular junction integrity.</p><p>Receptive language is better than expressive language; some individuals have used up to 50 signs to communicate. Individuals uniformly demonstrate intact social development with strong social engagement, a friendly disposition, and an enjoyment of music [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ml4.REF.segal.2017.340">Segal et al 2017</a>].</p><p>Individuals typically exhibit dysarthria or anarthria, slow chewing, and restricted lateral tongue movement.

In the US, early intervention is a federally funded program available in all states that provides in-home services to target individual therapy needs.</p><p><b>Ages 3-5 years.</b> In the US, developmental preschool through the local public school district is recommended. Before placement, an evaluation is made to determine needed services and therapies and an individualized education plan (IEP) is developed for those who qualify based on established motor, language, social, or cognitive delay. The early intervention program typically assists with this transition. Developmental preschool is center based; for children too medically unstable to attend, home-based services are provided.</p><p><b>All ages.</b> Consultation with a developmental pediatrician is recommended to ensure the involvement of appropriate community, state, and educational agencies (US) and to support parents in maximizing quality of life. Some issues to consider:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>IEP services:</div><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>An IEP provides specially designed instruction and related services to children who qualify.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>IEP services will be reviewed annually to determine whether any changes are needed.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Special education law requires that children participating in an IEP be in the least restrictive environment feasible at school and included in general education as much as possible, when and where appropriate.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Vision consultants should be a part of the child's IEP team to support access to academic material.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>PT, OT, and speech services will be provided in the IEP to the extent that the need affects the child's access to academic material. Beyond that, private supportive therapies based on the affected individual's needs may be considered. Specific recommendations regarding type of therapy can be made by a developmental pediatrician.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>As a child enters the teen years, a transition plan should be discussed and incorporated in the IEP. For those receiving IEP services, the public school district is required to provide services until age 21.</div></li></ul></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A 504 plan (Section 504: a US federal statute that prohibits discrimination based on disability) can be considered for those who require accommodations or modifications such as front-of-class seating, assistive technology devices, classroom scribes, extra time between classes, modified assignments, and enlarged text.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) enrollment is recommended.

Assuming that the child is safe to eat by mouth, feeding therapy (typically from an occupational or speech therapist) is recommended to help improve coordination or sensory-related feeding issues. Feeds can be thickened or chilled for safety. When feeding dysfunction is severe, an NG-tube or G-tube may be necessary.</p><p><b>Communication issues.</b> Consider evaluation for alternative means of communication (e.g., <a href="https://www.asha.org/NJC/AAC/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">augmentative and alternative communication</a> [AAC]) for individuals who have expressive language difficulties. An AAC evaluation can be completed by a speech-language pathologist who has expertise in the area. The evaluation will consider cognitive abilities and sensory impairments to determine the most appropriate form of communication. AAC devices can range from low-tech, such as picture exchange communication, to high-tech, such as voice-generating devices. Contrary to popular belief, AAC devices do not hinder verbal development of speech, but rather support optimal speech and language development.</p></div></div><div id="ml4.Surveillance"><h3>Surveillance</h3><div id="ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv" class="table"><h3><span class="label">Table 5. </span></h3><div class="caption"><p>Recommended Surveillance for Individuals with Mucolipidosis IV</p></div><p class="large-table-link" style="display:none"><span class="right"><a href="/books/NBK1214/table/ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv/?report=objectonly" target="object">View in own window</a></span></p><div class="large_tbl" id="__ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv_lrgtbl__"><table class="no_bottom_margin"><thead><tr><th id="hd_h_ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv_1_1_1_1" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">System/Concern</th><th id="hd_h_ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv_1_1_1_2" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Evaluation</th><th id="hd_h_ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv_1_1_1_3" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Frequency</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td headers="hd_h_ml4.T.recommended_surveillance_for_indiv_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">

Endosomes shuttle lipids and proteins between the plasma membrane and the various cellular organelles. Nutrients bound to lysosomes for processing would be retained in these transition vesicles. Alternatively, it could indicate an increased rate of membrane recycling resulting from rapid degradation of malfunctioning protein complexes at the plasma membrane. Inability of cells to compensate for the missing cation channel function causes the defect in organization of white matter in the brain and reduces maintenance of cells in the retina and optic nerve.
