mucopolysaccharidosis
mucopolysaccharidosis [mu″ko-pol″ĭ-sak″ah-rĭ-do´sis] (pl. mucopolysaccharido´ses) any of a group of genetically determined disorders due to a defect in mucopolysaccharide metabolism, marked by skeletal changes, mental retardation, visceral involvement, and corneal clouding, with widespread tissue deposits and mucopolysacchariduria. hurler's syndrome is the prototype of this disorder.mu·co·pol·y·sac·cha·ri·do·sis, pl. mu·co·pol·y·sac·cha·ri·do·ses (myū'kō-pol'ē-sak'ă-ri-dō'sis, -sēz), [MIM*252700] Any of a group of lysosomal storage diseases that have in common a disorder in metabolism of mucopolysaccharides, as evidenced by excretion of various mucopolysaccharides in urine and infiltration of these substances into connective tissue, with resulting various defects of bone, cartilage, connective tissue, and other organs.mucopolysaccharidosis (myo͞o′kō-pŏl′ē-săk′ə-rĭ-dō′sĭs)n. Any of several progressive genetic diseases characterized by the absence or nonfunctioning of enzymes that break down glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides), resulting in accumulation of gylcosaminoglycans in the tissues and dysfunction of multiple organ systems, especially the skeletal and nervous sytems. The types include MPS IH (Hurler syndrome), MPS IH/S (Hurler-Scheie syndrome), MPS IS (Scheie syndrome, formerly known as MPS V), MPS II (Hunter syndrome), MPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome), MPS IV (Morquio syndrome), MPS VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), and MPS VII (Sly syndrome).mucopolysaccharidosis A heterogeneous group of diseases each caused by a specific enzyme deficiency, resulting in an accumulation of substrate mucopolysaccharides–glycosaminoglycans–eg, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfates Clinical Childhood onset of Sx–eg, developmental delay, mental retardation, short stature, skeletal anomalies–dysostosis multiplex, coarse facial features, hepatosplenomegaly.
