Lysosomal Storage Disorders, or LSDs, are rare genetic conditions that may not make headlines, but they affect thousands worldwide, often with life-changing consequences. LSDs happen when the body’s lysosomes, tiny cellular recycling centers, fail to break down waste materials due to missing or faulty enzymes. This...

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase, leading to the buildup of complex sugars in the body. This progressive condition can impact multiple organs, causing skeletal abnormalities, vision, and hearing loss, and even cognitive decline.&nbs...

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a group of rare genetic disorders affecting roughly 1 in 25,000 births, yet its impact is profound. Caused by enzyme deficiencies, MPS leads to the buildup of complex sugars in cells, resulting in progressive damage to the heart, bones, brain, and other organs. Symptoms can vary widel...

Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) (Hurler Syndrome) – a lesser developed window Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a group of rare, hereditary and incurable “storage diseases”, which is named after mucopolysaccharides (sugars bound to proteins). The stored mucopolysaccharides are called as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). ...
