Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA, Sanfilippo A syndrome) is caused by mutations in the N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase (SGSH) gene and the resulting defective lysosomal degradation of the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate. The onset and progression of the disease are highly variable. Seventy-five mutations distributed over the SGSH gene have been described. We here report on the analysis of the natural...
