General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction biallelic mutations in gene NANS, the gene encoding N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase, in nine individuals causes infantile-onset severe developmental delay and skeletal dysplasia. The main clinical features of the dis­order included a prenatal history that is unremarkable in all patients except for one, in whom prenatal hydrocephalus is diagnosed. Patient body fluids show an elevation in N-acetyl-D-mannosamine levels, and patient-derived fibroblasts have reduced enzyme activity and are unable to incorporate sialic acid precursors into sialylated glycoproteins, phenotypes, overview Homo sapiens
malfunction knockdown of nansa in zebrafish embryos results in abnormal skeletal development, but with normal sialylation of plasma proteins, and exogenously added sialic acid partially rescues the skeletal phenotype Danio rerio
physiological function enzyme-mediated synthesis of sialic acid is required for early brain development and skeletal growth Danio rerio
