Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS IIIB or Sanfilippo syndrome type B) is an inherited metabolic disease caused by mutations in the NAGLU gene, encoding α-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Accumulation of undegraded heparan sulfate (one of glycosaminoglycans) arises from deficiency in this enzyme and leads to severe symptoms, especially related to dysfunctions of the central nervous system. Here, we describe a case of...
