Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), required for degradation of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate. In order to study the effects of a missense mutation in the active site cysteine in the GALNS gene that is conserved in all mammalian sulfatases, we produced a p.C76S (an active site replacement)...
