Popis: | The observation of vacuolated lymphocytes in a coarsely featured two year old female with hepatosplenomegaly, mitral insufficiency, and mild psychomotor retardation led to the first diagnosed case of aspartylglucosaminuria in the United States. Although physical characteristics and bone roentgenograms were consistent with a mucopolysaccharide disorder, analysis of the urine showed no mucopolysaccharide elevation. The chromatographic, enzymatic, and ultrastructural studies confirming the diagnosis are presented. |
