Abstract excerpt
Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the inability to degrade heparan sulfate because of a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU). We performed mutation screening in a group of 20 patients, identyifing 28 mutations, 14 of which were novel (L35F, 204delC, 221insGCGCG, G82D, W156C, 507delC, IVS3+1G-->A,...
