  • Alpha-Mannosidosis From a Mom’s Perspective, Featuring Rhonda Skipper
    In this final episode of our four-part series focused on alpha-mannosidosis, we feature Rhonda Skipper, a mom of two boys, Dale and Matt, who have this rare disease.

    Alpha-mannosidosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-D-mannosidase. Alpha-mannosidosis is best thought of as a continuum of disease that is generally broken down into three forms: a mild, slowly progressive form (type 1); a moderate form (type 2); and a severe, often rapidly progressive and potentially life-threatening form (type 3).



    The symptoms and severity of the disorder are highly variable. Signs may include distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, hearing loss, intellectual disability, and dysfunction of the immune system. Alpha-mannosidosis is caused by mutations of the MAN2B1 gene. This genetic mutation is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
