Hearing loss in patients with Morquio A syndrome: A scoping review. [PDF]
Background: Hearing impairment is a prevalent clinical feature in Morquio syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis IVA or MPS IVA) patients, often presenting in diverse forms: conductive, sensorineural, or a combination known as mixed hearing loss. The mixed form

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

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 ...
