A novel homozygous frameshift mutation in the FUCA1 gene causes both severe and mild fucosidosis.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Fucosidosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-L-fucosidase deficiency as a result of FUCA1 gene mutations. Here, we studied clinical features and the molecular basis of fucosidosis in a family from Iran, including two probands and nine family members. METHODS: DNA sample of two probands were screened for gene defects using a next generation sequencing technique. The...
