Preferred Label : Mucopolysaccharidosis, type iiib;
Symbol : MPS3B;
CISMeF acronym : MPS3B;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Naglu deficiency; Mps iiib; Sanfilippo syndrome b; N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase deficiency;
Description : Sanfilippo syndrome B is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized
by the accumulation of heparan sulfate. Clinically, patients have progressive neurodegeneration,
behavioral problems, mild skeletal changes, and shortened life span. The clinical
severity ranges from mild to severe (Chinen et al., 2005). For a phenotypic description
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Sanfilippo syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis
III, see MPS IIIA (252900).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase gene (NAGLU, 609701.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase deficiency in fibroblasts; Heparan sulfate excretion in urine;
