A novel missense mutation in lysosomal sulfamidase is the basis of MPS III A in a spontaneous mouse mutant

Abstract excerpt

Sanfilippo syndrome type III A (Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) III A) is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disease, characterized by the accumulation of heparan sulfate and the loss of function of lysosomal heparan N-sulfatase activity.
