Description

Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome (MSS) is an autosomal recessive disorder which has been characterized primarily through congenital cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, progressive muscle weakness due to myopathy, and delayed psychomotor development. Other characteristics of MSS involve short stature, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism, and skeletal deformities due to muscle weakness.

Molecular Genetics

MSS has been allocated to chromosome 5q31 and mutations have been found in SIL1, which is a gene that encodes a resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER), N-linked glycoprotein with an N-terminal ER targeting sequence, 2 putative N-glycosylation, and a C-terminal ER retention signal. This protein consists of 461 amino acids and weighs up to 52085 Da, it is necessary for protein translocation and folding in the ER and it functions as a nucleotide exchange factor for the ER luminal chaperone HSPA5.

Other Reports

Kuwait

Farah et al. (1997) found two brothers affected with Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome (MSS) in a consanguineous Bedouin family. The two brothers were in their twenties and had abnormally short lateral 3 metatarsals, a characteristic that was absent in other healthy family members. They also demonstrated features of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism.
