Mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a disease caused by organ accumulation of glycosaminoglycans due to iduronate 2-sulfatase deficiency. This study investigated the pathophysiology of the bone complications associated with mucopolysaccharidosis II and the ...

Female Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II): Insights From the Hunter Outcome Survey. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mucopolysaccharidosis II is a rare, X‐linked disease, with very few reports of affected female patients. Natural history data describe a predominantly male population, and appropriate disease characterization in female patients is lacking. This analysis explores the somatic disease burden and clinical progression of female patients with MPS II

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II: One Hundred Years of Research, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) was first described by Dr. Charles Hunter in 1917. Since then, about one hundred years have passed and Hunter syndrome, although at first neglected for a few decades and afterwards mistaken for a ...

Novel subtype of mucopolysaccharidosis caused by arylsulfatase K (ARSK) deficiency
Background Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are monogenic metabolic disorders that significantly affect the skeleton. Eleven enzyme defects in the lysosomal degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been assigned to the known MPS subtypes (I–IX ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPSIVA) or Morquio A disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) deficiency, resulting in keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate accumulation.

Bi‐allelic VPS16 variants limit HOPS/CORVET levels and cause a mucopolysaccharidosis‐like disease
Lysosomal storage diseases, including mucopolysaccharidoses, result from genetic defects that impair lysosomal catabolism. Here, we describe two patients from two independent families presenting with progressive psychomotor regression, delayed ...

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 I: A Review of the Natural History and Molecular Pathology
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease, caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase, resulting in accumulation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dermatan and heparan sulfate in organs and tissues.

Gene Therapy for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II—A Review of the Current Possibilities
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a lysosomal storage disorder based on a mutation in the IDS gene that encodes iduronate 2-sulphatase. As a result, there is an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans—heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate—in almost ...
