Preferred Label : Kanzaki disease;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Schindler disease, type II; Alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency, type II; Alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency, adult-onset; Naga deficiency, type II;

Description : Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (NAGA) deficiency is a very rare lysosomal storage disorder with atypical features. It is clinically heterogeneous with 3 main phenotypes: type I is an infantile-onset neuroaxonal dystrophy (609241); type II, also known as Kanzaki disease, is an adult-onset disorder characterized by angiokeratoma corporis diffusum and mild intellectual impairment; and type III is an intermediate disorder (see 609241) 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, 104170.0002);

Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased or absent alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity; Increased urinary O-linked sialopeptides; Diverse tissue cell types (vascular endothelial cells, adipocytes, Schwann cells, leukocytes) have membrane-lined cytoplasmic vacuoles with amorphous and filamentous material; Glycoamino aciduria; Decreased or absent alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase protein;

Prefixed ID : #609242;
