Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (Morquio A): a close differential diagnosis of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia. [PDF]
Patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) have a plethora of multisystemic manifestations depending on the particular type, and atypical presentations are not uncommon. MPS type IVA (Morquio A syndrome) has predominant musculoskeletal system involvement and corneal clouding with normal intelligence and can be misdiagnosed as primary skeletal disorders ...

Recommendations for the management of MPS IVA: systematic evidence- and consensus-based guidance. [PDF]
IntroductionMucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA or Morquio A syndrome is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by deficiency of the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which impairs lysosomal degradation of keratan ...

Advances in therapies for neurological lysosomal storage disorders
Abstract Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a diverse group of inherited, monogenic diseases caused by functional defects in specific lysosomal proteins. The lysosome is a cellular organelle that plays a critical role in catabolism of waste products and recycling of macromolecules in the body.

Enzyme replacement in a human model of mucopolysaccharidosis IVA in vitro and its biodistribution in the cartilage of wild type mice. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS), an enzyme that degrades keratan sulfate (KS). Currently no therapy for MPS IVA is available.

Markers of cognitive function in individuals with metabolic disease: Morquio Syndrome and Tyrosinemia Type III [PDF]
We characterized cognitive function in two metabolic diseases. MPS–IVa (mucopolysaccharidosis IVa, Morquio) and tyrosinemia type III individuals were assessed using tasks of attention, language and oculomotor function.

Undiagnosed disease program in South Africa: Results from first 100 exomes
Abstract The Undiagnosed Disease Program in South Africa (UDP) sought to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of exome sequencing (ES) in a phenotypically diverse, multi‐ethnic cohort of South African patients with suspected rare genetic disorders. ES was undertaken in 100 sequential patients (93 singletons, 3 duos, and 4 trios) recruited to the
