Schindler Disease - Great Ormond Street Hospital Laboratory
... Schindler disease (MIM 609241) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, which is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme, alpha-Nacetylgalactosaminidase (NAGA). NAGA is a lysosomal glycohydrolase that cleaves alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase moieties from glycoconjugates inside lysosomes ...
