Therapies of mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A syndrome) [PDF]
Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA, MPS IVA) is one of the lysosomal storage diseases and is caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS). Deficiency of this enzyme leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S).
