Abstract
Salla disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by accumulation of free sialic acid in the lysosomes. Lamp genes, lamp A and lamp B (lysosome associated membrane proteins), are the first known genes encoding for human lysosomal membrane proteins. Absence of linkage in a large group of families shows that lamp genes are not involved in Salla disease. The lamp genes were localized, using Southern hybridization in hamster--human hybrid cell panels, to chromosomes 13 (lamp A) and X (lamp B).Entities:
