Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a subgroup of lysosomal storage disorders. The underlying mechanism of MPS disorders are deficiency in specific enzymes which leads to accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues. A wide

Clinical trial of laronidase in Hurler syndrome after hematopoietic cell transplantation. [PDF]
BackgroundMucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS IH) is a lysosomal storage disease treated with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) because it stabilizes cognitive deterioration, but is insufficient to alleviate all somatic manifestations.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB: a current review and exploration of the AAV therapy landscape
Mucopolysaccharidoses type IIIB is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes for N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase. This results in the aggregation of heparan sulfate polysaccharides within cell lysosomes that leads to progressive

A novel mutation in SGSH causing Sanfillipo type 3A Mucopolysaccharidoses in an Indian family
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) type III also termed as Sanfillipo syndrome, involves defect in enzymes required for degradation of heparan sulphate. We report a clinical case of MPS-III later followed by genetic investigation for MPS-III genes SGSH, NAGLU ...

Impaired glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) catabolism may lead to a cluster of rare metabolic and genetic disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs). Each subtype is caused by the deficiency of one of the lysosomal hydrolases normally degrading GAGs. Affected

Neonatal umbilical cord blood transplantation halts skeletal disease progression in the murine model of MPS-I [PDF]
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a promising source of stem cells to use in early haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) approaches for several genetic diseases that can be diagnosed at birth.
