Alternative titles and symbols : Neuroaxonal dystrophy, schindler type; Alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency, type I; Naga deficiency, type I;

Description : Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (NAGA) deficiency is a very rare lysosomal storage
disorder. It is clinically heterogeneous with 3 main phenotypes: type I is an infantile-onset
neuroaxonal dystrophy; type II, also known as Kanzaki disease (609242), is an adult-onset
disorder characterized by angiokeratoma corporis diffusum and mild intellectual impairment;
and type III is an intermediate disorder with mild to moderate neurologic manifestations
(Desnick and Schindler, 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase gene (NAGA, 104170.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Lack of lysosomal inclusions in visceral organs; Increased urinary O-linked sialopeptides; Decreased alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity (less than 2% of control); Increased urinary oligosaccharides; Decreased alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase protein;
