Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA or Morquio A syndrome is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by deficiency of the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which impairs lysosomal degradation of keratan sulphate and chondroitin-6-sulphate.
Morquio A syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA), is a lysosomal storage disease due to mutations in the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (<i>GALNS</i>) gene.
These new multivalent iminosugar architectures strongly and selectively inhibit N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS), whose deficiency is connected to the lysosomal storage disease Morquio A.
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A: OMIM 253000) is a lysosomal storage disease with an autosomal recessive trait caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase.
Morquio A syndrome (MPS IVA) is a systemic lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS), encoded by the GALNS gene.
Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (Morquio syndrome A, MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS).
Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (MPS IV A) is a lysosomal storage disease produced by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme.
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) activity.
Morquio A syndrome (MPS IVA) is a recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by mutations in the GALNS gene leading to the deficiency of lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS).
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) and transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.
In this study, we have investigated three factors to correctly predict the correlation between genotype and phenotype on N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) gene responsible for one of lysosomal storage diseases, known as mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA); (i) evolutionary conservation of amino acid residues among family proteins, (ii) conservativeness of amino acid changes in GALNS, and (iii) structural conservation of amino acid residue.
Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase (GALNS;EC 3.1.6.4), results in the storage of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate, which leads to the lysosomal storage disorder Morquio A syndrome.
