Diagnosing mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) activity. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires agreement of

Bioinformatic Analysis of the Human Recombinant Iduronate 2-Sulfate Sulfatase [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a human recessive disease linked to the X chromosome caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzyme Iduronate 2-Sulfate Sulfatase (IDS), which leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in tissues and organs. The human enzyme has been expressed inEscherichia coliandPichia pastorisin attempt to develop more successful ...

Autophagy in the retinal pigment epithelium: a new vision and future challenges
RPE cells have different systems (mitophagy, ER‐phagy, xenophagy, lipophagy, ribophagy, pexophagy, aggrephagy, and LAP) for breaking down and recycling damaged materials, allowing them to reduce ‘waste’ and reuse the ‘raw material’. Autophagosomes and phagosomes work as recycler and they take care of the cellular waste transport to the ‘incinerator ...

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a class of lysosomal storage disorders resulting in progressive disease manifestations and are caused by pathogenic variants in genes coding for enzymes needed to degrade glycosaminoglycans.

Multiple sulfatase deficiency with neonatal manifestation. [PDF]
Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD; OMIM 272200) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the sulfatase modifying factor 1 gene, encoding the formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE), and resulting in tissue ...

Case report: a rare case of Hunter syndrome (type II mucopolysaccharidosis) in a girl
Background Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a recessive X-linked disorder due to mutations in the iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. The IDS gene encodes a lysosomal enzyme, iduronate 2-sulfatase. The disease occurs almost exclusively in

Sequence of the Human Iduronate 2-Sulfatase (IDS) Gene
Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS; EC 3.1.6.13) results in the storage of the glycosaminoglycans heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, which leads to the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type II. Three overlapping genomic clones derived from an X-chromosome-specific library containing the entire IDS gene were

Enzyme replacement therapies: What is the best option? [PDF]
Despite many beneficial outcomes of the conventional enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), several limitations such as the high-cost of the treatment and various inadvertent side effects including the occurrence of an immunological response against the ...
