Abstract excerpt
Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by a defect of the alpha-L: -fucosidase (FUCA1) gene. Worldwide 26 mutations underlying the disease have been reported. By direct DNA sequencing of exons and flanking introns, homozygous Y126X mutation and Q281R polymorphism were found in a Taiwanese patient with fucosidosis.
