Core features of untreated individuals generally include early childhood-onset non-progressive hearing loss, frequent infections due to immunodeficiency, rheumatologic symptoms (especially systemic lupus erythematosus), developmental delay / intellectual disability, low tone, ataxia, spastic paraplegia, psychiatric findings, bone disease (ranging from asymptomatic osteopenia to focal lytic or sclerotic lesions and osteonecrosis), gastrointestinal dysfunction (including diarrhea, swallowing issues / aspiration, and enlarged liver and spleen), poor growth, eye issues (including tapetoretinal degeneration and optic nerve atrophy), cardiac complications in adults, and pulmonary issues (including parenchymal lung disease).

At least three clinical types have been suggested in untreated individuals: mild (clinically recognized after age ten years, with myopathy, slow progression, and absence of skeletal abnormalities); moderate (clinically recognized before age ten years, with myopathy, slow progression, and presence of skeletal abnormalities); and severe (obvious progression leading to early death from primary central nervous system involvement or infection). Core features of untreated individuals generally include early childhood-onset non-progressive hearing loss, frequent infections due to immunodeficiency, rheumatologic symptoms (especially systemic lupus erythematosus), developmental delay&#x000a0;/ intellectual disability, low tone, ataxia, spastic paraplegia, psychiatric findings, bone disease (ranging from asymptomatic osteopenia to focal lytic or sclerotic lesions and osteonecrosis), gastrointestinal dysfunction (including diarrhea, swallowing issues&#x000a0;/ aspiration, and enlarged liver and spleen), poor growth, eye issues (including tapetoretinal degeneration and optic nerve atrophy), cardiac complications in adults, and pulmonary issues (including parenchymal lung disease). However, with the advent of enzyme replacement therapy, the natural history of this condition may change. Long-term velmanase alfa (VA) treatment outcomes are still being elucidated, but may include improvement in hearing, immunologic profile, and quality of life (improved clinical outcomes for muscle strength). Similarly, affected individuals who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) experienced improvement in development (with preservation of previously learned skills), ability to participate in activities of daily living, stabilization or improvement in skeletal abnormalities, and improvement in hearing ability, although expressive speech and hearing deficiencies remained the most significant clinical problems after HSCT.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis is established in a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/proband/">proband</a> by identification of deficiency of lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-mannosidase (typically 5%-10% of normal activity) in leukocytes or other nucleated cells AND/OR by the identification of <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> pathogenic variants in <i>MAN2B1</i> by <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/">molecular genetic testing</a>.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Targeted therapies:</i> Velmanase alfa (Lamzede<sup>&#x000ae;</sup>) enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been very well tolerated and is now regarded as a standard treatment for alpha-mannosidosis; improvement in both biochemical and functional parameters have been reported in treated individuals. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been offered as a treatment for severe alpha-mannosidosis. While HSCT carries risks, the data suggests it is a feasible therapeutic option for alpha-mannosidosis, with better outcomes achieved by performing it early before complications arise, balancing the risks and benefits.</p><p><i>Supportive care:</i> Hearing aids may be helpful for those with sensorineural hearing loss, whereas pressure-equalizing tubes may be helpful for those with conductive hearing loss.

Every six to 12 months in childhood and annually in adults, assess fine motor function, gross motor function, endurance, and muscle strength and tone by physical therapy; and assess for features of ataxia. Every one to two years, or as clinically indicated in those with hearing aids, perform an audiology evaluation. Every two to five years in children, adolescents, and adults, consider DXA bone densitometry scan to assess for osteopenia or osteoporosis; radiographs of the hips/spine may be indicated. Annually (or as clinically indicated), routine biochemical lab assessment to include liver and kidney health, blood glucose levels, fluid and electrolyte balance, and complete blood count (with platelets); consider immunlobulin levels, ESR and C-reactive protein; pulmonary function tests; and ophthalmology evaluation. At regular intervals based on clinical features, consider endocrinology evaluations, including hormonal and lipid profiles; consider assessment of liver and spleen size through ultrasound or MRI imaging; consider electrocardiogram, 24-hour electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram; consider sleep study. For those on ERT, plasma oligosaccharides to assess treatment response as clinically indicated.

</h5><p>The following information represents typical management recommendations for individuals with developmental delay&#x000a0;/ intellectual disability in the United States; standard recommendations may vary from country to country.</p><p><b>Ages 0-3 years.</b> Referral to an early intervention program is recommended for access to occupational, physical, speech, and feeding therapy as well as infant mental health services, special educators, and sensory impairment specialists. 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.

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 id="a-mannosidosis.NeurobehavioralPsychiatri"><h5>

During normal turnover and catabolism, glycoproteins are digested by proteinases and glycosidases within the lysosomes. These enzymes degrade glycoproteins into fragments small enough to be excreted or transported to the cytosol for reuse. Lack of any one of these enzymes, including alpha-mannosidase, will compromise the degradation pathway as a whole, resulting in accumulation of oligosaccharides or glycopeptides in the lysosomes. Accumulation of storage material is thought to impair lysosomal function and thereby harm cellular functions such as vesicle maturation, endocytosis, exocytosis, and calcium homeostasis [<a class="bk_pop" href="#a-mannosidosis.REF.schultz.2011.401">Schultz et al 2011</a>]. However, the pathophysiology of lysosomal storage disorders is complex, and accumulation of storage material alone cannot fully explain disease mechanisms.</p><p><b>Mechanism of disease causation.</b> Loss of function.
