Clinical and mutational characterization of three patients with multiple sulfatase deficiency: report of a new splicing mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by impaired activity of all known sulfatases. The gene SUMF1, recently identified, encodes the enzyme responsible for post-translational modification of a cysteine residue, which is essential for the activity of sulfatases. Fewer than 30 MSD patients have been reported to date and 23 different mutations in...
