Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS-VI) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (4S; or ARSB). Mutations in the 4S gene are responsible for 4S deficiency, which leads to the intralysosomal storage of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin 4-sulfate. To date, a total of 45 clinically relevant mutations have...
