GALNS and lysosomal storage disease: Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease with an autosomal recessive trait caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate, primarily in cartilage and its extracellular matrix, resulting in a direct impact on cartilage and bone development, as well as subsequent systemic skeletal dysplasia.
