Exome sequencing for mucolipidosis III: Detection of a novel GNPTAB gene mutation in a patient with a very mild phenotype
2015, Molecular Genetics and Metabolism ReportsCitation Excerpt :Both alternatives could explain the pathogenicity of p.Gly575Arg and the patient's mild phenotype. There is no other mutation described in the 575 residue of phosphotransferase — the closest one is p.Arg587Pro (c.1760G>C) which is also associated to ML III [16]. The following evidence also suggests p.Gly575Arg is pathogenic: 1) p.Ile403Thr is described in ML III patients [7,8,17] and is presumed to be a mild mutation by expression studies [7].
Analysis of mucolipidosis II/III GNPTAB missense mutations identifies domains of UDP-GlcNAc:lysosomal enzyme GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase involved in catalytic function and lysosomal enzyme recognition
2015, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Our data predict an attenuated clinical phenotype in this patient, as there was substantial residual catalytic activity (29 ± 12%). De Pace et al. (24) previously reported expression studies of four of the missense mutants analyzed here (W81L, S399F, R986C, and K1236M). Our results are in agreement with their finding that mutation of the residues Trp-81 and Ser-399 impacts ER exit.

2011, Clinica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Yet, clinical manifestations with MLIII are quite similar to mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type VI syndrome (MIM# 253200), which is also an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder but caused by the deficiency of a series of enzymes for breakdown of galactosamines or mucopolysaccharides [8]. Without proper comprehensive assays, distinction of these two types of diseases has not been always possible with conventional clinical diagnoses [9,10]. Here, we report that a Chinese family was initially thought to be affected by MPS but finally determined as MLIII based on molecular diagnosis.
