Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID is the least common of the four subtypes of Sanfilippo syndrome. It is caused by a deficiency of N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulphatase, which is one of the enzymes involved in the catabolism of heparan sulphate. We present the clinical, biochemical, and, for the first time, the molecular diagnosis of a patient with Sanfilippo D disease. The patient was found to be homozygous for a single base pair deletion (c1169delA), which will cause a frameshift and premature termination of the protein. Accurate carrier detection is now available for other members of this consanguineous family.
