Presentation
The presentation as a cerebral palsy-like encephalopathy may delay diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Any fluorescent lipid present at the plasma membrane was then removed by back-exchange ( 6, 8 ). [doi.org]
This presentation of ML-IV is highly atypical taking into consideration the largest reported skin biopsy-proven series from India. [4] This cohort of 4 patients had a uniform presentation in adolescence with slowly progressive spastic paraparesis in stark [neurologyindia.com]
However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.de]

- Muscle Hypotonia
Infants with I-cell disease are typically underweight at birth, with muscle hypotonia and coarse facial features, the full clinical picture of the disorder presenting between 6 and 8 months. [5] Other features include joint stiffness, dislocated hips, [saudija.org]
Neurologic
- Excitement
Auto-fluorescence was noted over a wide range of excitation wavelengths from ∼ 365 to ∼ 546 nm. The most intense fluorescence was observed in the lower wave-length range. [doi.org]
Cells were imaged using a 60× objective, and the LacCer was excited using a 488-nm laser, whereas the dextran was excited using a 647-nm laser. [jem.rupress.org]

Prognosis
Because MLIV wasn’t recognized until 1974, little is known about prognosis and life expectancy beyond 30 years of age. Approximately 1 in 125 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of Mucolipidosis Type IV. [geneticdiseasefoundation.org]
Prognosis includes, shortened life span, reduced quality of life, and also additional complications with health 11.)Type of Genetic Inheritance Pattern: MLIV is an autosomal recessive pattern 12.) [spark.adobe.com]
The prognosis beyond this age, and the life expectancy of these patients is not known. [doi.org]
Etiology
Background: Mucolipidosis type IV is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease of unknown etiology. Patients develop corneal clouding, retinal degeneration, spastic quadriparesis, and mental retardation. [n.neurology.org]

Prevention
Most mutations in the MCOLN1 gene result in the production of a nonfunctional protein or prevent any protein from being produced. [checkorphan.org]
The demonstration of Fe 2+ buildup in MLIV cells raised the possibility that TRPML1 dissipates lysosomal Fe 2+ and prevents its accumulation. [biochemj.org]
