Morquio B disease was found in a 15-year-old Japanese boy who presented with progressive generalized skeletal dysplasia without neurological manifestations. Mild keratan sulfaturia was found, and beta-galactosidase was deficient in fibroblasts. Gene analysis revealed two mutant alleles, 83Tyr-->His (Y83H) and 482Arg-->Cys (R482C). The former expressed a low enzyme activity (2-5% of normal), and the latter expressed no detectable enzyme activity.
在一名15岁的日本男孩身上发现了Morquio B病,该男孩表现为进行性全身性骨骼发育不良,无神经学表现。发现有轻度硫酸角质素尿,成纤维细胞中的β-半乳糖苷酶缺乏。基因分析显示有两个突变等位基因,83Tyr→His(Y83H)和482Arg→Cys(R482C)。前者表达的酶活性较低(为正常的2%-5%),后者未检测到酶活性。
