Sialuria
Sialuria is a rare metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme responsible for breaking down sialic acid. Patients with sialuria exhibit symptoms such as developmental delay, hypotonia, and hepatomegaly. Genetic mutations in the NANS gene are typically responsible. Proper diagnosis and management are essential for individuals with sialuria.
