Biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II and IV
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS), are the primary biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS); however, little is known about other biomarkers.

Collagen Type II-Targeting Lentiviral Gene Therapy for Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS IVA) is caused by pathogenic variations in the GALNS gene, leading to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in tissues and causing progressive skeletal lesions.

Bromocriptine as a Novel Pharmacological Chaperone for Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), leading to lysosomal accumulation of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate. In this study, we identified and characterized bromocriptine (BC) as a novel PC for MPS IVA. BC

Genotype and Phenotype Characterization of Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IV-A in Chile. [PDF]
Introduction: Morquio syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type IV-A (MPS IV-A) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic variants in the GALNS gene, encoding the lysosomal enzyme GalN6S, responsible for glycosaminoglycan keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate degradation.

The structure of human GALNS reveals the molecular basis for mucopolysaccharidosis IV A. [PDF]
Lysosomal enzymes catalyze the breakdown of macromolecules in the cell. In humans, loss of activity of a lysosomal enzyme leads to an inherited metabolic defect known as a lysosomal storage disorder. The human lysosomal enzyme galactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS, also known as N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase and GalN6S; E.C.

Safety and efficacy of laronidase in Chinese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I: a phase IV, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study [PDF]
Background Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase. Laronidase (Aldurazyme®) stands as the sole FDA-approved enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for MPS I to date. In June 2020,
