Processed pseudogene insertion in GLB1 causes Morquio B disease by altering intronic splicing regulatory landscape

Abstract excerpt

Morquio B disease (MBD) is an ultra-rare lysosomal storage disease, which represents the relatively mild form of GLB1-associated disorders. In this article, we present the unique case of "pure" MBD associated with an insertion of the mobile genetic element from the class of retrotransposons. Using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), we identified an integration of the processed pseudogene NPM1 deep in the intron 5 of...
