Abstract excerpt
Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, MPS VI) is an autosomally inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1; 4-sulfatase). In order to determine the gene defect in a clinically severe MPS VI patient, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were generated from the patient's fibroblast mRNA and also from a 4-sulfatase cDNA clone and...
