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

Markers of cognitive function in individuals with metabolic disease: Morquio Syndrome and Tyrosinemia Type III [PDF]
We characterized cognitive function in two metabolic diseases. MPS–IVa (mucopolysaccharidosis IVa, Morquio) and tyrosinemia type III individuals were assessed using tasks of attention, language and oculomotor function.

General anaesthesia in an adult patient with Morquio syndrome with emphasis on airway issues
Patients with Morquio syndrome possess a number of characteristics which may complicate an anaesthetic procedure. The most important is that a deposition of mucopolysaccharides in the soft tissues of the oro-pharynx distorts the airway, making the airway

Morquios Syndrome: A Rare Case Report
Morquio’s syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate. It was first described in 1929 by Morquio and Brailsford. Morquio’s syndrome is characterized by a defect in the degradation of keratin sulfate resulting in the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides.

A case of two siblings with Morquio syndrome
Morquio syndrome (Type IV mucopolysaccharidosis) is an autosomal recessive condition with a prevalence of 1:40000 to 1:200000.1 The deficiencies of N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulfatase and beta-galactosidase leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycan resulting Morquio syndrome type A and B respectively. Here, we report a case of two siblings with Morquio
