Name | Combined SAP deficiency; Prosaposin deficiency |
Description | Combined SAP deficiency is a fatal infantile lysosomal storage disorder with hepatosplenomegaly and severe neurological disease. It is caused by mutations in the PSAP gene leading to absence or non-functionality of the prosaposin protein. Mammalian prosaposin encodes in tandem four small acidic activator proteins (saposins) with specificities for glycosphingolipids hydrolases. |

Comment | Defects in PSAP saposin-B region are the cause of metachromatic leukodystrophy [DS:H00127]. Defects in PSAP saposin-C region are the cause of atypical Gaucher disease [DS:H00126]. Defects in PSAP saposin-A region are the cause of atypical Krabbe disease [DS:H00135]. |
