GNS Antibody

1. Mice deficient in GNS showed lysosomal storage pathology and a phenotype that closely resembled human MPSIIID. Moreover, treatment of the GNS-deficient animals with GNS-encoding adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors of serotype 9 delivered to the cerebrospinal fluid completely corrected pathological storage, improved lysosomal functionality in the CNS and somatic tissues, resolved neuroinflammation PMID: 28334745
2. 12 new patients and 15 novel mutations were identified in Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID. PMID: 20232353
3. The Sanfilippo syndrome type D patient was found to be homozygous for a single base pair deletion (c1169delA), which will cause a frameshift and premature termination of N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulphatase. PMID: 12624138
4. A large intragenic deletion of 8723 bp encompassing exons 2 and 3 has been identified, the first large intragenic deletion to be reported in any of the four Sanfilippo subtypes. Q272X has also been found. PMID: 16990043
5. Sanfilippo syndrome type D has 3 novel mutations in the GNS Gene. PMID: 17998446
6. We identified the novel homozygous single base pair insertion, c.1226GinsG, which leads to a frame-shift and a premature truncation of the GNS protein (p.R409Rfs21X). PMID: 19650410
