Tissue alpha-L-fucosidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FUCA1 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Alpha-fucosidase is an enzyme that breaks out fucose. [7]

Fucosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by defective alpha-L-fucosidase with accumulation of fucose in the tissues. Different phenotypes include clinical features such as neurologic deterioration, growth retardation, visceromegaly, and seizures in a severe early form; coarse facial features, angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, spasticity and delayed psychomotor development in a longer surviving form; and an unusual spondylometaphyseoepiphyseal dysplasia in yet another form.[supplied by OMIM] [6]
