Enzyme-Replacement Therapy in a 5-Month-Old Boy With Attenuated Presymptomatic MPS I: 5-Year Follow-up
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a progressive and multisystemic disease, even in its attenuated Hurler-Scheie and Scheie forms. Clinical trials of enzyme-replacement therapy in MPS I have shown clinical benefit in patients with considerable preexisting disease, but no data exist on the effect of beginning enzyme replacement before the onset of significant clinical signs of disease. Here we present the 5-year follow-up of a boy with attenuated MPS I who had laronidase therapy initiated at the age of 5 months and compare his clinical course to that of his older sister, who began treatment at 5 years of age after she had developed typical signs of MPS I. After 5 years of treatment, the younger sibling has not developed any clinical manifestations of MPS I except for mild corneal clouding. In contrast, although many of the older sibling's clinical features have improved after 5 years of treatment, her dysostosis multiplex, cardiac valve involvement, and corneal clouding, although stabilized, have persisted. We suggest that early treatment of attenuated MPS I may significantly delay or prevent the onset of the major clinical signs, substantially modifying the natural history of the disease.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
