|Prompt=A 3year-old male was brought to the physician’s office with a 3-day history of fever, cough and runny nose. The mother complained that the child stopped growing over one year ago. Physical examination reveals generalized hypotonia, restricted joint movements and coarse facial features.
|Prompt=A 3-year-old boy is brought to the physician’s office with a 3-day history of fever, cough, and runny nose. The mother states that the child is not growing like his siblings before him. Physical examination is remarkable for generalized hypotonia, restricted joint movements, and coarse facial features. Radiographic findings include bullet-shaped phalanges, wedging of the vertebrae, and widening and thickening of the ribs. Which of the following statements is true regarding the impaired cellular organelle involved in this patient's condition?
Radiologic findings include bullet-shaped phalanges, wedging of the vertebrae and widening of the ribs. Which is true about the cellular organelle involved in this condition?  
|Explanation=Inclusion cell disease (I-cell disease) is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by failure of addition of mannose -6- phosphate to lysosome proteins. It usually manifests with coarse facial features, clouded corneas, restricted joint movement, and in the majority of cases, it is fatal in childhood. The disease is caused by defective phosphotransferase enzyme that is located on the Golgi apparatus (involved cellular organelle). The Golgi apparatus is a distribution center of proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, and secretory vesicles. It modifies N-oligosaccharides on asparagine and adds O-oligosaccharides to serine and threonine residues.
 
|Explanation=The is a case of Inclusion cell disease (I-cell disease) which is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder due to failure of addition of mannose -6- phosphate to lysosome proteins. It usually results in coarse facial features, clouded corneas, restricted joint movement and most of the time, it is fatal in childhood. The cellular organelle involved in this disease is the Golgi apparatus. It is a distribution center of proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, and secretory vesicles. It modifies N-oligosaccharides on asparagine and adds O-oligosaccharides to serine and threonine residues. Proteoglycan assembly is from core proteins and involved in the sulfation of sugars in proteoglycans and of selected tyrosine on proteins. Addition of mannose-6-phosphate to specific lysosomal proteins would eventually target the protein to the lysosome.
