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]
The etiology of these disorders remains elusive, but evidence suggests a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors ( 353 ). [doi.org]
Epidemiology
The discussion covers the phenotype spectrum, epidemiology, mode of inheritance, pathogenesis, and clinical profile of each condition, all of which is accompanied by a wealth of illustrations. [books.google.de]
