Background information for Mucolipidosis, Type IV (MCOLN1), 2 Variants: Characteristics: Mucolipidosis type IV is characterized by early onset of severe psychomotor delay and progressive visual impairment due to corneal clouding and retinal degeneration. Affected individuals may occasionally learn to say a few words or walk independently. While most affected individuals remain neurologically static until age 30, about 15 percent will display neurological degeneration. Incidence: 1 in 63,000 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. Inheritance: Autosomal recessive. Cause: MCOLN1 pathogenic variants. Variants Tested: g.511_6943del and c.406-2A>G. Clinical Sensitivity: 95 percent in Ashkenazi Jewish individuals, 6 to 10 percent in other ethnicities. Methodology: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence monitoring. Analytical Sensitivity and Specificity: Greater than 99 percent. Limitations: Variants other than g.511_6943del and c.406-2A>G will not be detected.
