Salla disease (SD) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which free sialic acid (N-acetyl neuraminic acid) accumulates in lysosomes. A specific transport mechanism for acidic monosaccharides on the lysosomal membrane has recently been described, but the molecular deficiency causing SD is still unknown. We have previously mapped the SD gene to 6q14-q15 by means of genetic linkage analysis and restricted the...
