The diagnosis and management of mucopolysaccharidosis type II

Abstract excerpt

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a rare X-linked recessive inherited lysosomal storage disease. With pathogenic variants of the IDS gene, the activity of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) is reduced or lost, causing the inability to degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in cells and influencing cell function, eventually resulting in multisystemic manifestations, such as a coarse face, dysostosis multiplex,...
