Monitoring effectiveness of treatment in patients with phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG)

 

Establishing a baseline level prior to initiating treatment for PMM2-CDG

 

This test is not useful for diagnosing congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) in general or PMM2-CDG in particular

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency, or PMM2-CDG, is the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) accounting for about 50% of known CDG patients.

 

In many patients with PMM2-CDG, the urine polyols, sorbitol and mannitol, are elevated relative to controls. Sorbitol, in particular, has been shown to be positively correlated with severely affected patients in contrast to patients in the mild or moderate categories. It is also higher in patients with moderate peripheral neuropathy. Both mannitol and sorbitol were increased in patients with mild liver dysfunction.(1) Treatment options for PMM2-CDG remain limited however; current literature reports that the aldose reductase inhibitor, epalrestat, can correct the underlying enzyme deficiency in a majority of patients with PMM2-CDG.(2) Recent trials suggest that treatment with epalrestat, in addition to other therapeutic benefits, resulted in nearly normalized levels of sorbitol and mannitol relative to controls.(1)

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Mannitol: <97 mmol/mol creatinine

Sorbitol: <35 mmol/mol creatinine

Interpretation

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

A total of 200 mcL of urine is spiked with a mixture of labeled internal standards, allowed to equilibrate, and evaporated. The dry residue is derivatized to form trimethylsilyl esters, then extracted with hexane. Specimens are analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry, selected ion monitoring using ammonia chemical ionization and a stable isotope dilution method.(Jansen G, Muskiet F, Schierbeek H, et al.
