Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB With Pancytopenia: A Case Report and Hematological Correlations in Mice

Clinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 604-608, November 2025.
We report an individual with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB and chronic pancytopenia. Hematological studies in a mouse model revealed microcytic anemia and decreased monocyte count. Hence, pancytopenia is thought to be secondary to mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB, and we suggest that a complete blood count should be included in the clinical ...
