Spinal involvement in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome): presentation, diagnosis and management. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA), also known as Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome, is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulphate sulphatase (GALNS). MPS IVA is multisystemic but manifests

Morquio syndrome: A radiological diagnosis
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a family of inherited metabolic diseases that results from the deficiency of lysosomal enzymes involved in the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (MPS).

Plasma Proteomic Analysis in Morquio A Disease [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the enzymeN-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), and is characterized by systemic skeletal dysplasia due to excessive storage of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate in chondrocytes.

Morquio Syndrome: A Case Report. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (MPS IV), also known as Morquio syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. The main features include skeletal defects and possible cardiopulmonary complications. The cost of diagnosing and treating this condition is high, and treatment is not easily available everywhere. We present a case of Morquio

Prenatal diagnosis of morquio disease type A using a simple fluorometric enzyme assay [PDF]
A new fluorogenic substrate, 4 methylumbelliferyl B-D-6-sulphogalactoside, was used for the assay of galactose-6-sulphate sulphatase activity in chorionic villi, cultured villus cells, and amniocytes. The fluorometric assay is much more convenient than

Orthopedic management of the extremities in patients with Morquio A syndrome. [PDF]
BackgroundMusculoskeletal involvement in Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis IVA; MPS IVA) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. While the spinal manifestations of the disorder have received considerable attention in the literature,

Trends in Serum Cytokine Expression in Pediatric Skeletal Dysplasia
We identified differences in cytokine expression in multiple types of pediatric skeletal dysplasia as compared to typically growing children. Four of the 12 analyzed cytokines demonstrated elevated expression above control levels in all of the dysplasia cohorts (IL‐12, IL‐13, IP‐10, RANTES) and 2 demonstrated expression below control levels across all ...
