Abstract
UNLABELLED: Alpha-mannosidosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (LAMAN). Here, we report two sisters with alpha-mannosidosis who developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The sisters were both homozygous for a one bp deletion within the LAMAN gene resulting in a truncated gene product. The coincidence of alpha-mannosidosis and SLE are discussed with regard to both clinical and molecular findings.Entities:
