Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (MPS IV A) is the result of a genetic deficiency in a lysosomal hydrolase, N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS). To investigate MPS IV A patients at the level of the genome, we analyzed the structure of the human GALNS-encoding gene. From the genomic library of a normal subject in lambda EMBL3, we isolated five overlapping clones covering the coding region of the GALNS cDNA and...
