A novel mutation in the NAGLU gene associated with Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B).


ABSTRACT: Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding N-alpha-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) on chromosome 17q21 results in Sanfilippo B, resulting in excess accumulation of intralysosomal glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) in various tissues. We wish to report a novel homozygous variant in a child with features of Sanfilippo syndrome B.
