Mucopolysaccharidosis, unspecified - what does this mean
Mucopolysaccharidosis (mps) is a group of inherited disorders caused by the body's inability to break down complex sugars called glycosaminoglycans (gags). this leads to the buildup of gags in cells and tissues, resulting in the symptoms of mps. symptoms vary depending on the type of mps but can include skeletal abnormalities, cognitive impairment, organ enlargement, and facial deformities.
What happens during the disease - mucopolysaccharidosis, unspecified
Mucopolysaccharidosis is a group of inherited disorders caused by the deficiency or absence of lysosomal enzymes which are responsible for the breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (gags). this enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of gags in the body, causing damage to cells, tissues, and organs. this damage can lead to a wide range of symptoms, such as skeletal deformities, hearing loss, heart and respiratory problems, and developmental delays.
