Laboratory tests, the pedigree of the patient, and sequencing information. (A) Proband is a 17-year-old woman with a major complaint of progressive walking pain in bilateral hips which gradually disabled her from any motion of lower extremities since the clinical manifestation debuted at her age of 8. We discovered compound heterozygous variants at exon 11 (c.1156C>T; blue arrows) and exon 12 (c.1288C>G; red arrows) of the GALNS gene, respectively. The sequencing results indicate both parents are respective carriers and each donated a different heterozygous allele. (B) Urinary GAG/Creatinine (mg/mmol) was measured using samples collected from MPS IVA patient and their family members during hospital visits.

RESULTS
NonHumanModel: Murine
GeneAlteration: murine Galns portions of intron 1 and exon 2 were deleted via homologous recombination of a cre-neomycin resistance-cre cassette and mated with a cre recombinase strain to remove the cassette and complete the deletion
ModelPhenotype: No outward phenotypes but biochemically there was up to a 6 fold increase in GAG excretion in urine, chondroitin-6-sulfate specifically and not keratan sulfate, consistent with the human phenotype
HumanPhenotype: in severe cases there are obvious skeletal deformations, increase of GAG's chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate in urine and decreased or absent GALNS activity
ModelEvidence: X-rays of mice and multiple life stages, GAG assays in urine, immunohistochemistry images of tissues with labeled chondoritin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate to show distribution in multiple tissue types and
ModelVariant: large deletion of portion of intron 1 and exon 2

Correction of MPSIVA pathology by AAV9-Galns treatment
RescueModel: Rescue WT CAG::GALNS in murine model by ovexpression in a Galns variant frequently found in human's affected with MPSIVA
GeneAlteration: transduction by AAV9 of CAG promoted WT murine optimized Galns coding sequence. Widespread tissue transduction was visualized with a CAG promoted GFP cassette delivered by AAV9, subsequently GFP production was widespread and found in all relevant tissue including osteoblast rich areas.
RescueVariant: AAV9-Galns with the coding sequence under the control of a CAG promoter element
RescuePhenotype: HP:0004325, MP:0001258, HP:0005736
RescueMethod: p.Arg386Cys (MPSIVA) mice were first transducted with CAG::GFP via AAV9 to verify efficiency of delivering the coding sequence to target tissue like bone. Then a CAG::Galns (optimized WT) was transducted in to MPSIVA mice (Galns -/-) via AAV9 by 4 weeks of age to avoid the high mortality in the Galns homozygote starting at 2 months.
RescueEvidence: Early transduction of Galns -/- mice recovered higher than WT enzyme activity and WT levels of keratan sulfate detected in liver tissue. Abnormalities in the growth plate in Galns -/- mice were absent in those treated with AAV9-Galns resulting from a return to WT levels of enzyme activity and keratan sulfate in all bone tissue sampled. GALNS activity recovered in lung and heart tissue with the elevated heart rate in MPSIVA mice returned to WT.

FunctionalEvidence: Patient cells assayed with artificial substrates for the N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase encoded by GALNS, depending on the severity of the coding sequence alteration, are either unable to break down the substrate or are hindered. Further, in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA patients with known variants, elevated levels of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate can be found in their urine where levels in unaffected individuals are much lower.
