Cochlear implantation in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (OMIM 253000; also known as Morquio A syndrome) is associated with skeletal, airway, and hearing abnormalities. Cochlear implantation is an effective intervention for patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss.

Delivering gene therapy for mucopolysaccharide diseases

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Mucopolysaccharide diseases are a group of paediatric inherited lysosomal storage diseases that are caused by enzyme deficiencies, leading to a build-up of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) throughout the body.

Mucopolysaccharidoses: A rare cause for bilateral cloudy cornea

Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research, 2017
There are many different causes for corneal clouding/opacification which include both local ophthalmic causes as well as systemic causes. Mucopolysaccharidosis is a rare cause. Hence, we present a case of mucopolysaccharidosis type IV, who presented with

Infusion rate adjustment in enzyme replacement therapy with pabinafusp alfa for mucopolysaccharidosis II. [PDF]

Br J Clin Pharmacol
Abstract Aims Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) requires long‐term, weekly intravenous infusions often lasting over 3 h each time, which can burden paediatric patients and caregivers and negatively affect their quality of life and treatment compliance.

Arthropathy-like findings and a carpal tunnel syndrome as the presenting features of Scheie syndrome: Three cases from the same family

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2018
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type I is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase. MPS I is divided into three subtypes based on the severity of symptoms: Hurler, Hurler-Scheie, and Scheie syndrome ...
