Alpha-mannosidase is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, specifically mannose-containing oligosaccharides, in lysosomes. Deficiency of alpha-mannosidase enzyme activity leads to the accumulation of undigested oligosaccharides within lysosomes, causing a rare lysosomal storage disorder known as alpha-mannosidosis. Alpha-mannosidosis is characterized by multi-systemic manifestations, including skeletal abnormalities, facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and organomegaly. Diagnosis of alpha-mannosidosis involves enzymatic testing to measure alpha-mannosidase activity in leukocytes or fibroblasts, along with genetic testing to identify mutations in the MAN2B1 gene encoding alpha-mannosidase. Management of alpha-mannosidosis focuses on symptomatic treatment and supportive care to alleviate clinical manifestations and improve quality of life in affected individuals.
