Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (MPS IIID; Sanfilippo syndrome type D; MIM 252940) is caused by deficiency of the activity of N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (GNS), which is normally required for degradation of heparan sulfate. The clinical features of MPS IIID include progressive neurodegeneration, with relatively mild somatic symptoms. Biochemical features include accumulation of heparan sulfate and...
