Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IS - The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of 7 inherited lysosomal storage disorders caused by the deficiency of specific lysosomal enzymes required for the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are complex macromolecules. The inability to degrade GAGs leads to their lysosomal accumulation and the subsequent clinical features of the disorders, which can include facial coarsening, corneal clouding, valvular heart disease, hepatosplenomegaly, and dysostosis multiplex accompanied by short stature. Mental retardation is also a feature of some of ... mucopolysaccharidosis type is, scheie syndrome, type is mucopolysaccharidosis, mps, glycosaminoglycans, gag,

Hurler s Syndrome

Deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase can result in a wide range of phenotypes including Hurler (severe), Scheie (mild) and Hurler-Scheie (intermediate) syndromes.1 hurler s syndrome, autosomal recessive, genetic, coarse facies, gi, corneal clouding, short stature, short, inherited disorders, mucopolysaccharidosis, glycosaminoglycan, inheritance, mucopolysaccharidosis type i
