To characterize the longitudinal natural history of disease progression in pediatric subjects affected with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IIIB. Sixty-five children with a confirmed diagnosis of MPS IIIB were enrolled into 1 of 2 natural history studies and followed for up to 4years. Cognitive and adaptive behavior functions were analyzed in all subjects, and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging analysis of liver, spleen, and brain, as well as levels of heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate nonreducing ends (HS-NRE), were measured in a subset of subjects. The majority of subjects with MPS IIIB achieved an apex on both cognition and adaptive behavior age equivalent scales between age 3 and 6years. Development quotients for both cognition and adaptive behaviorfollow a linear trajectory by which subjects reach a nadir with a score <25 for an age equivalent of 24months by age 8years on average and by 13.5years at the latest. All tested subjects (n=22) had HS and HS-NRE levels above the normal range in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, along with signs of hepatomegaly. Subjects lost an average of 26mL of brain volume (-2.7%) over 48weeks, owing entirely to a loss of cortical gray matter (32mL; -6.5%). MPS IIIB exists along a continuum based on cognitive decline and cortical gray matter atrophy. Although a few individuals with MPS IIIB have an attenuated phenotype, the majority follow predicted trajectories for both cognition and adaptive behavior.
