Acosta MA, Lago RM, Barros F and Carracedo AM

Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a lysosomal disease caused by an enzymatic disorder of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase o arylsulfatase B. The diagnosis has generally been accepted with an ASB enzyme activity of <10 % of the lower limit of normal values in cultured fibroblasts or isolated leukocytes in an accredited laboratory with the presence of clinical findings consistent with MPS VI disease. The objective of this study is to make the molecular genetic characterization of two patients coming from two municipalities in the eastern and central areas of the Department, respectively, identified as having the severe clinical form of MPS typ... view more»
