Abstract excerpt
We have identified a mutation causing beta-glucuronidase (beta Gl) deficiency in a 6-year-old girl with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Enzyme assay of lysates of a girl's lymphocytes or cultured fibroblasts showed little residual activity and a normal beta Gl-specific mRNA level, as revealed by...
