Abstract excerpt
Galactosialidosis (OMIM #256540) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTSA gene, which encodes the protective protein cathepsin A. The loss of function of this protein causes a secondarily deficiency of beta-galactosidase and N-acetyl-a-neuraminidase enzymes activities. We describe the clinical, biochemical and molecular analysis of a case report with a phenotype...
