Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase deficiency; Mps VI; Arylsulfatase b deficiency; Arsb deficiency; Maroteaux-lamy syndrome;
Description : Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder
resulting from a deficiency of arylsulfatase B. Clinical features and severity are
variable, but usually include short stature, hepatosplenomegaly, dysostosis multiplex,
stiff joints, corneal clouding, cardiac abnormalities, and facial dysmorphism. Intelligence
is usually normal (Azevedo et al., 2004).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the arylsulfatase B gene (ARSB, 611542.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Arylsulfatase B deficiency in fibroblasts and white blood cells; Dermatan sulfate excretion in urine;
