Mutational analysis of the GNPTAB gene was performed in 46 apparently unrelated patients with mucolipidosis IIα/β or IIIα/β, characterized by the mistargeting of multiple lysosomal enzymes as a consequence of a UDP-GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase defect. The GNPTAB mutational spectrum comprised 25 disti
## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Mucolipidosis types II and III are autosomal recessive inherited diseases caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1 phosphotransferase (GlcNAc-phosphotransferase), which adds phosphate to function as a recognition marker for the uptake
