This is a 60 Sec Question If u take longer than that then u seriously have to go and look at the Biochem Books Again. PLZ TIME URSELF FOR THIS ONE
A 6-month-old boy is brought to the pediatrician by his parents, who are first cousins. This is their first child. Physical examination reveals a small, thin, lethargic infant with slightly misshapen long bones. His features are somewhat coarse. Joint movements are restricted, his corneas are clouded, and his gums are underdeveloped. His liver is not enlarged. Serum levels of acid hydrolases are found to be elevated.
The child most likely has a defect in which of the following metabolic activities?
A. Degradation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate
B. Degradation of gangliosides
C. Degradation of glycogen
D. Degradation of sphingomyelin
E. Phosphorylation of mannose moieties
F. Phosphorylation of tyrosine moieties

I cell disease so E
i got confused and though at a time it could be Hurler syndrome A because of cloudy cornea , AR and joing immobility but it doesn't elevated ACID HYDROLASES!
thank u 4 the question

The correct answer is E.
The patient has I-cell disease, also known as mucolipidosis II, which is due to a defective UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, the enzyme that phosphorylates mannose on enzymes destined for lysosomes. Proteins coded by nuclear DNA are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes, which may be either "free" or associated with the endoplasmic reticulum to form the rough endoplastic reticulum (RER). Proteins synthesized on the RER are transferred into the Golgi apparatus, where they undergo further modifications that determine whether they remain part of the Golgi apparatus, become part of the plasma membrane, or are shipped to lysosomes or mitochondria. Proteins not marked for transport to a specific intracellular site follow the default pathway and are exported into the extracellular compartment. The signal for transport of the acid hydrolases (and probably other enzymes) to the lysosomes is phosphorylation of a terminal mannose moiety on an N-linked oligosaccharide to form mannose 6-phosphate. In I-cell disease, this terminal mannose moiety is not phosphorylated, and the acid hydrolases follow the default pathway and are secreted.
Deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase results in lysosomal accumulation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate (choice A) in several conditions such as mucopolysaccharidosis I, Hurler's disease, or Hurler's/Scheie disease.
Hexosaminidase A deficiency (Tay-Sachs disease) is one example of a condition in which ganglioside accumulation occurs (choice B).
There are a number of diseases in which glycogen degradation (choice C) is defective. These are collectively termed glycogen storage diseases since they result in abnormal cellular accumulation of glycogen. In Pompe's disease, or type II glycogen storage disease, a lysosomal glucosidase is deficient, resulting in lysosomal glycogen accumulation.
Deficiency of sphingomyelinase (choice D), an enzyme involved in degradation of sphingomyelin, results in Niemann-Pick disease.
Phosphorylation of tyrosine moieties (choice F) is unrelated to lysosomes or lysosomal enzymes; however, decreased ability to phosphorylate tyrosine moieties might be associated with diabetes or dwarfism.

THis is By FAR THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE SEEN FOR I CELL DISEASE PLZ MAKE A NOTE OF IT ......
