RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a continuation of prior filed, co-pending application Ser. No. 10 / 775,678, filed Feb. 10, 2004, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) from Provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 447,747, filed Feb. 11, 2003, and entitled DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE SULFATASE DEFICIENCY AND OTHER SULFATASE DEFICIENCIES. The contents of each application are hereby expressly incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to methods and compositions for the diagnosis and treatment of Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD) as well as other sulfatase deficiencies. More specifically, the invention relates to isolated molecules that modulate post-translational modifications on sulfatases. Such modifications are essential for proper sulfatase function.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Sulfatases are members of a highly conserved gene family, sharing extensive sequence homology (Franco, B., et al., Cell, 1995, 81:...
