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;
