摘要

Here we report a Japanese patient with juvenile/adult-type galactosialidosis carrying a homozygous c.692+3A>G CTSA variant. Comprehensive genetic analyses including exome sequencing, chromosomal microarray and homozygosity mapping supported biallelic inheritance of this variant and suggested a founder effect in the Japanese population. Clinically, the patient exhibited typical features of the juvenile/adult-type galactosialidosis, with growth impairment noted during adolescence as a less conspicuous but relevant observation.
