Mucopolysaccharidosis

Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (Hunter syndrome) is a rare X-linked recessive storage disorder caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase, causing excess accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the lysosomes resulting in cellular damage, organ failure and death. Severe subtype develops[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
