Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA: identification of mutations and methylation study in GALNS gene [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A disease) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS; E.C.3.1.6.4; OMIM# 253000). GALNS is one of the sulfatases required to degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), keratan sulfate (KS), and chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S).

Remote spinal cord injury in mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA after cervical decompression [PDF]
Morquio A syndrome (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man #253000) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase encoded by the GALNS gene. Key clinical features are skeletal dysplasia and short stature.

Abstract Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in adults have milder phenotype and variable age at presentation. Several studies have described the phenotype, genotype and treatment outcomes for adult‐onset LSDs like Gaucher, Fabry, Pompe disease and others. We describe the first systematic study on the occurrence of LSDs in an adult population from India.

Long-term endurance and safety of elosulfase alfa enzyme replacement therapy in patients with Morquio A syndrome [PDF]
Long-term efficacy and safety of elosulfase alfa enzyme replacement therapy were evaluated in Morquio A patients over 96weeks (reaching 120weeks in total from pre-treatment baseline) in an open-label, multi-center, phase III extension study.

Gene therapies for mucopolysaccharidoses
Abstract Current specific treatments for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Both treatments are hampered by several limitations, including lack of efficacy on brain and skeletal manifestations, need for lifelong injections, and high costs.

Circumventing antivector immunity: potential use of nonhuman adenoviral vectors [PDF]
Adenoviruses are efficient gene delivery vectors based on their ability to transduce a wide variety of cell types and drive high-level transient transgene expression. While there have been advances in modifying human adenoviral (HAdV) vectors to increase

Subjective and Objective Assessment of Hand Function in Mucopolysaccharidosis IVa Patients [PDF]
Morquio A is classically described as a skeletal dysplasia, but the impact of the abnormalities on the upper limb has not been described.The aim of our study is to assess the level of subjective and objective functions of the hand and upper limb in Morquio A patients in order to advance understanding as this may change future management for this ...
