Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI; Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, is caused by mutations in the N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B, or ARSB) gene, resulting in a deficiency of ARSB activity.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is produced by the deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase B, responsible for the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and dermatan sulfate.
Direct comparison of measures of endurance, mobility, and joint function during enzyme-replacement therapy of mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome): results after 48 weeks in a phase 2 open-label clinical study of recombinant human N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, MPS VI) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulphatase (ARSB),which leads to the lysosomal accumulation and excretion of dermatan sulphate (DS).
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome). An intermediate clinical phenotype caused by substitution of valine for glycine at position 137 of arylsulfatase B.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI - Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a globally rare lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of arylsulfatase B.
A 13-year-old child was clinically diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis type VI-Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI) at the age of 5 years, and the diagnosis was confirmed biochemically and genetically (homozygous mutation in ARSB gene).
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI; Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (ARSB) gene.
An incidence of approximately 1 in 107,000 live births was obtained for MPS IH (Hurler phenotype); 1 in 320,000 live births (1 in 165,000 male live births) for MPS II (Hunter Syndrome); 1 in 58,000 for MPS III (Sanfilippo Syndrome); 1 in 640,000 for MPS IVA (Morquio Syndrome type A), and 1 in 320,000 for MPS VI (Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome).
As ocular and cardiac impairment are also clinically important manifestations of the MPS VI syndrome, the present study was initiated for detailed biochemical, histologic and functional analysis of cornea, optic nerve and heart in ASB-deficient mice.
MPS VI (mucopolysaccharidosis type VI) is a lysosomal storage disease in which deficient activity of the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase [ASB (arylsulfatase B)] impairs the stepwise degradation of the GAG (glycosaminoglycan) dermatan sulfate.
The demonstration of two allelic mutations in the feline arylsulfatase B gene documented the occurrence of genetic heterogeneity in feline mucopolysaccharidosis VI and permitted characterization of the enzymatic defect in homoallelic and heteroallelic (genetic compound) homozygotes, providing a model for the study of allelism in human genetic disorders.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase B (ASB).
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder arising from deficient activity of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) and subsequent intracellular accumulation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dermatan sulfate and chondroitin-4-sulfate.
The Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type VI; MPS VI) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme arylsulphatase B (ASB).
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI; Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B, ARSB) gene.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome; MPS VI) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder in which deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B; ARSB) leads to the storage of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in connective tissue.
