Abstract excerpt
AIM: To develop a method for prediction of severity and clinical course of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), a group of inherited metabolic diseases. METHODS: Various biochemical and clinical parameters (including estimation of the level of clinical severity, presence of specific mutations, residual enzyme activity, urinary glycosaminoglycan (GAG) excretion, storage of GAG in fibroblasts and efficiency of GAG...
