Abstract excerpt
G(M1)-gangliosidosis and Morquio B disease are distinct in clinical and biochemical features, but both disorders are caused by genetic defects of the same enzyme, acid beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal). We analyzed the kinetic properties of mutant beta-Gals from patients with G(M1)-gangliosidosis and Morquio B disease to examine the clinical and biochemical differences between both disorders. Five skin fibroblast...
