N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase sulfamidase deficiency (medical condition): A rare inherited biochemical disorder characterized by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans). This occurs due to there being not enough of the enzyme called N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase sulfamidase which is needed to break down the mucopolysacharides. The mucopolysaccharides are then deposited in various tissues.
