Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA: identification of mutations and methylation study in GALNS gene [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 2004
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]

open access: yesNeurology, 2014
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.

Lysosomal storage disorders identified in adult population from India: Experience of a tertiary genetic centre and review of literature

open access: yesJIMD Reports, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 85-101, March 2024.
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 135-144, January 2024.
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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

Adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy delivering combinations of two growth-associated genes to MPS IVA mice

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) is caused by a deficiency of the galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme responsible for the degradation of specific glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
