Murine MPS I: insights into the pathogenesis of Hurler syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting from deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase. A murine model which shows complete deficiency in alpha-L-iduronidase activity has been developed and shows phenotypic features similar to severe MPS I in humans. Here we report on the long-term clinical, biochemical, and pathological course of MPS I in mice with emphasis...
