Mucopolysaccharidosis is a congenital defect disease.
Due to the lack of proteoglycan degrading enzymes in the human body leads to impaired proteoglycan metabolism, which in turn leads to the body’s acidic mucopolysaccharides cannot be completely metabolized, there will be an accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the human body, causing a series of not-exactly-similar diseases.
The age of onset is usually between 1 and 3 years old, and the clinical manifestations include abnormal behavior, speech disorders, mental retardation, etc. At the same time, there may be damage to several systems, such as hepatosplenomegaly, neurological abnormalities, cardiovascular damage, and the most prominent damage to the skeletal system, which may result in skeletal deformities.
Mucopolysaccharidosis is a congenital disease and there is no quick fix but sugar levels can be controlled to control the progression of the disease. Prompt medical attention is recommended for any discomfort and prompt diagnosis and treatment.
