Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD), also known as Austin disease, [1] or mucosulfatidosis, [1] is a very rare autosomal recessive [2] lysosomal storage disease [3] caused by a deficiency in multiple sulfatase enzymes, or in formylglycine-generating enzyme, which activates sulfatases. [4]: 502 [5] It is similar to mucopolysaccharidosis. [6]
