Abstract excerpt
Mucolipidosis (ML) II and MLIII alpha/beta are two pediatric lysosomal storage disorders caused by mutations in the GNPTAB gene, which encodes an α/β-subunit precursor protein of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase. Considerable variations in the onset and severity of the clinical phenotype in these diseases are observed. We report here on expression studies of two missense mutations c.242G>T (p.Trp81Leu) and c.2956C>T...
