Update of the spectrum of mucopolysaccharidoses type III in Tunisia: identification of three novel mutations and in silico structural analysis of the missense mutations.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mucopolysaccharidoses type III (MPS III) are a group of autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases, caused by mutations in genes that code for enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulphate: heparan sulfate sulfamidase (SGSH), α-Nacetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU), heparan sulfate acetyl-CoA: α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT), and N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (GNS)....
