Gene therapies for mucopolysaccharidoses
Abstract Current specific treatments for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Both treatments are hampered by several limitations, including lack of efficacy on brain and skeletal manifestations, need for lifelong injections, and high costs.

Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare, life‐limiting lysosomal storage disease caused by reduced iduronate‐2‐sulfatase activity. Patients experience broad ranging signs and symptoms, including bone and joint manifestations. This study reported on orthopedic involvement and management in patients with MPS II using 15 years of data from ...

Enzyme replacement therapy with idursulfase for mucopolysaccharidosis type ii (hunter syndrome) [PDF]
Background Mucopolysaccharidosis II, also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare, X-linked disease caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase, which catalyses a step in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans.

Maturation of type I sulfatases requires the conversion of the cysteine (Cys) or serine (Ser) present in the active site to formylglycine (FGly). This activation represents a limiting step during the production of recombinant sulfatases in bacteria and eukaryotic hosts.
