Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome

Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome, HPMRS,[1] also known as Mabry syndrome,[2] has been described in patients recruited on four continents world-wide.[3] Mabry syndrome was confirmed[4] to represent an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by severe mental retardation, considerably elevated serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, hypoplastic terminal phalanges, and distinct facial features that include: hypertelorism, a broad nasal bridge and a rectangular face.

This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner

Pathogenesis

While many cases of HPMRS are caused by mutations in the PIGV gene,[5] there may be genetic heterogeneity in the spectrum of Mabry syndrome as a whole.[6] PIGV is a member of the molecular pathway that synthesizes the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor.[7] The loss in PIGV activity results in a reduced anchoring of alkaline phosphatase to the surface membrane and an elevated alkaline phosphatase activity in the serum.
