Early-onset motor polyneuropathy associated with a novel dominant NAGLU mutation.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: NAGLU encodes N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase, an enzyme that degrades heparan sulfate. Biallelic NAGLU mutations cause mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB, a severe childhood-onset neurodegenerative disease, while monoallelic mutations are associated to late-onset, dominantly inherited painful sensory neuropathy. However, to date, only one family with a dominant NAGLU-related neuropathy has been described....
