Activities of acid hydrolases in fibroblasts from normal and cystinotic children.
A study of the lysosomal hydrolases bete-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, and arylsulphatases A and B has been carried out on fibroblasts cultured from seven patients with cystinosis and eight control subjects. beta-Galactosidase activity was found to be consistently lower in cells derived from cystinotics, while the other enzymes studied showed no significant differences between normals and cystinotics.
