Later or milder presentations of SOD are being reported with increasing frequency. These presentations include neurological regression with loss of previously acquired milestones or movement disorders.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of a newborn infant boy with isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency who presented with generalized seizures on his fourth day of life. Plasma total homocysteine was not detectable.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient presented neonatally with intractable seizures and did not progress developmentally beyond the neonatal stage. Dislocated lenses were apparent at 2 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder presenting at birth with seizures, severe neurologic disease, and ectopia lentis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In both, neurologic problems started soon after birth and progressed rapidly to profoundmentalretardation, microcephaly, blindness, and spastic quadriparesis. Seizures were a persistent problem throughout the course of their illness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Both had profoundmentalretardation, microcephaly, spastic quadriparesis, and uncontrolled seizures from the neonatal period. Diagnosis was established by demonstrating the presence of sulfites in urine and genetic analysis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Individuals affected with sulfite oxidase deficiency most commonly present in the neonatal period with intractable seizures, characteristic dysmorphic features, and profoundmentalretardation.[checkorphan.org]

The association of ectopia lentis with a movement disorder, even without psychomotorregression, should prompt us to look for this diagnosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Three patients with isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency are studied who manifested intractable seizures and severe hypotonia in the immediate postnatal period with an unknown diagnosis, despite extensive workup.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Metabolic workups revealed normal bicarbonate and ammonia levels, and a normal level of plasma uric acid 5.6 mg/dl (normal reference 2.4-7.2).[ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Complete laboratory workup for diagnosis for MCD therefore includes plasma amino acids, serum uric acid, urine amino acids and total homocysteine (urine and plasma).[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Low xanthine oxidase and absent sulfite oxidase activities were found on liverbiopsy. No abnormality was detected in either parent. Both the above enzymes are molybdenum-flavoproteins.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Deficiencies of both xanthine oxidase and sulfite oxidase were demonstrated in a liverbiopsy specimen.[nature.com]

Management and treatment There is no cure for sulfite oxidase deficiency. Antiepileptic drugs in various combinations are used for control of seizures.[orpha.net]
There is a special demand for prenatal diagnosis, since no effective treatment is available for isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Various dietary manipulation and molybdenum cofactor treatment have been suggested as partial treatments for molybdenum cofactor deficiency for this type of genetic disorder but only OGD offers a definitive reproductive option for families with ISOD.[ashg.org]
No treatment has showed to be effective.[docksci.com]
Prognosis The prognosis of the disease is poor. For those who survive infancy, new treatments have led to improvement in some patients. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only.[orpha.net]
Gaslini Childrens Hospital, Genoa, Italy, IT X close Abstract Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disease with a very poor prognosis.[jbsr.be]
Prognosis - Sulfite oxidase deficiency Not supplied. Treatment - Sulfite oxidase deficiency Not supplied. Resources - Sulfite oxidase deficiency Not supplied.[checkorphan.org]
Diagnosis and Prognosis: Most cases have an early onset of symptoms during early childhood. Symptoms of delayed development and a general ‘floppiness’ may be seen and are often accompanied by agitation and feeding problems.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis is poor, even more in the isolated form; patients usually die during the first few months of life. Dietary methionine intake should be restricted; this restriction improves biochemical values but not neurological outcome.[docksci.com]
Neuropathological findings of cortical necrosis and extensive cavitating leukoencephalopathy were reminiscent of those seen in severe perinatal asphyxia suggesting an etiology of energy deficiency.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency is caused by a mutation in the SUOX gene (12q13.13) (see this term).[orpha.net]
Rarely it is an etiology of psychomotor retardation of childhood. Lens dislocation outside of the neonatal period is a common finding but of variable onset.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence is unknown but is very rare. At least 100 patients with sulfite oxidase deficiency have been reported with approximately 75% of cases being related to molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) deficiency.[orpha.net]
Epidemiology Frequency United States Frequency of sulfite oxidase deficiency is unknown; however, this disorder is probably underdiagnosed. International Worldwide, approximately 50 cases of sulfite oxidase deficiency have been reported.[emedicine.medscape.com]
It has been observed in all ethnic groups but its rarity so far prevents clear delineation of epidemiologic patterns.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Pathophysiology Inherited defects in the sulfite oxidase enzyme cause the phenotype of sulfite oxidase deficiency in a minority of cases.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Although it cannot reverse the cerebral injury that has already occurred, seizures are stopped and neurotoxicity and further cerebral damage is prevented.[orpha.net]
The SUOX gene mutations that cause ISOD impair the function of sulfite oxidase, preventing complete breakdown of sulfur-containing amino acids.[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
