GNPTAB-mucolipidosis

GNPTAB-mucolipidosis is a genetic condition caused by changes in both copies of the GNPTAB gene, making it an autosomal recessive disorder. It affects the body’s ability to properly process certain molecules, known as mucolipids, which can lead to a range of symptoms. This condition is known to cover a spectrum of clinical presentations, including the more severe mucolipidosis type II (ML II) and the milder mucolipidosis type III alpha/beta (ML IIIα/β), with some individuals showing symptoms that fall in between these two forms. The information provided is based on the definition of the disorder as described in trusted sources.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

GNPTAB-mucolipidosis is caused by bi-allelic variants in the GNPTAB gene. Being an autosomal recessive condition, two altered copies of the gene are required for the disorder to present itself. These genetic changes affect enzyme activity involved in the processing of mucolipids.
