In Maroteaux- Lamy syndrome, the enzyme deficient is?
Correct Answer: Arylsulfatase B
Description: Ans. A (Arylsulfatase B). (Ref. Harrison, Medicine, 18th/ Chapter 361. Lysosomal Storage Diseases) Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS type VI) is due to deficiency of N-acetyl galactosamine (arylsulphatase B enzyme).
