Clinical, radiologic, and genetic features of Korean patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA
Na Hee Lee, Sung Yoon Cho, Se Hyun Maeng, Tae Yeon Jeon, Young Bae Sohn, Su Jin Kim, Hyung-Doo Park, Dong Kyu Jin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(11):430-437.   Published online November 23, 2012
Purpose

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) deficiency. Only a few MPS IVA cases have been reported in the Korean literature; there is a paucity of research about clinical or radiologic findings for this disorder. Therefore, we studied clinical findings, radiological features, and genetic data of Korean MPS IVA patients for...

Systematic review of the clinical and genetic aspects of Prader-Willi syndrome
Dong Kyu Jin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(2):55-63.   Published online February 28, 2011

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex multisystem genetic disorder that is caused by the lack of expression of paternally inherited imprinted genes on chromosome 15q11-q13. This syndrome has a characteristic phenotype including severe neonatal hypotonia, early-onset hyperphagia, development of morbid obesity, short stature, hypogonadism, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and psychiatric problems. PWS is an example of a genetic condition caused...
