Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI; Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, is caused by mutations in the N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B, or ARSB) gene, resulting in a deficiency of ARSB activity. This study aimed to characterize the clinical and molecular features of four unrelated Thai patients with MPS VI. Two were products of...
