Fusion of RVG or gh625 to Iduronate-2-Sulfatase for the Treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPSII) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a mutation in the IDS gene, resulting in deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) causing heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) accumulation in all cells.

Identification of 6 new mutations in the iduronate sulfatase gene [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. We sequenced genomic DNA and RT-PCR products in the iduronate sulfatase (IDS) gene in 6 unrelated patients with Hunter syndrome to assess genotype / phenotype relationships and offer carrier testing where

Therapeutic potential of stem cells in pediatric neurology: Insights from clinical trials
Key characteristics of stem cells. Stem cells are essential in therapy due to their ability to self‐renew, ensuring a continuous supply of cells. They can derive from various sources, primarily embryonic tissue, and adult organs such as bone marrow and adipose tissue.

Assessment of musculoskeletal abnormalities in children with mucopolysaccharidoses using pGALS [PDF]
Background - Children with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) often have musculoskeletal (MSK) abnormalities. Paediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine (pGALS), is a simple MSK assessment validated in school-age children to detect abnormal joints.

Iduronate-2-sulfatase fused with anti-hTfR antibody, pabinafusp alfa, for MPS-II : a phase 2 trial in Brazil [PDF]
In Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II [MPS-II]),systemic accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dueto a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), caused by mu-tations in theIDSgene, leads to multiple somatic manifesta-tions and in patients ...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Treatment of Lysosomal Storage Disorders
ABSTRACT Lysosomal disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare metabolic disorders, with an overall incidence of 1:4800 to 1:8000 live births. LSDs are primarily caused by dysfunctional lysosomal enzymes, which typically lead to the progressive accumulation of substrates within cellular lysosomes.

Implementation of an Affordable Method for MPS Diagnosis from Urine Screening to Enzymatic Confirmation: Results of a Pilot Study in Morocco [PDF]
Background: Rapid and accurate diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) is still a challenge due to poor access to screening and diagnostic methods and to their extensive clinical heterogeneity.
