	Genetics, birth defects and metabolism - Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) - Children's Memorial Hospital (Chicago, IL)
		MPS II, also called Hunter syndrome, is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme (iduronate sulfatase) that is needed to break down the mucopolysaccharides/glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dermatan and heparan sulfate, which are found in the central nervous system and throughout other systems of the body.
		MPS II is inherited as an X-linked (sex-linked) recessive trait, meaning that it is usually observed only in males.
		In rare cases, a son may develop MPS II not because his mother is a carrier, but due to a new mutation or change in the gene.

	The MPS Diseases
		The MPS diseases are part of a larger group of disorders known as Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs).
		The Australian MPS Society includes these and other disorders as part of its "related diseases" and aims to extend its support and assistance to families affected by these disorders.
		Apart from MPS II or Hunter Syndrome, the MPS diseases are caused by a recessive gene.

	Hunter
		The MPS Society has produced a booklet which shows that, while no magic cure exists, there are many ways of helping children and adults to enjoy their lives and to manage the problems they may have.
		Children with MPS II are missing an enzyme called iduronate sulphate sulphatase which is essential in cutting up the mucopolysaccharides called dermatan and heparan sulphate.
		The sisters and maternal aunts of an individual with MPS II may be carriers of the disease who would also have a 1 in 2 chance of passing the disease to a son.

	Mucopolysaccharidoses: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders
		Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a general term for a number of inherited diseases that are caused by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides, resulting in problems with an individual's development.
		However, before these enzymes were identified, the MPS disorders were diagnosed by the signs and symptoms that an individual expressed.
		These conditions are often referred to as MPS I, MPS II, MPS III, MPS IV, MPS VI, MPS VII, and MPS IX.

		Clinical characteristics are similar to those in MPS I, except for the absence of corneal clouding and slower progression of the course of disease and central nervous system deterioration.
		MPS IIA usually occurs between 2 and 4 years of age with progressive deterioration, chronic diarrhea, recurrent ear infections, hearing impairment, communicating hydrocephalus with increased intracranial pressure, and death at about 10 and 15 years.
		MPS IIB is milder with preservation of intelligence.

		The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a heterogeneous group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by the deficiency of enzymes involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans, also named mucopolysaccharides.
		There are at least 10 enzymes known to be required for the stepwise degradation of dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate, deficiencies of which lead to a wide spectrum of a progressive and chronic clinical disorders (Table 1).

		Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a lysosomal storage disorder related to a deficiency in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS).
		Dried-blood-spot samples from MPS II patients showed an almost total absence of IDS activity (0-0.075 micromol x h(-1) x L(-1)) compared with control blood spots (0.5-4.7 micromol x h(-1) x L(-1)) and control plasma (0.17-8.1 micromol x h(-1) x L(-1)).
		A dried-blood-spot sample from only 1 of 12 MPS II patients had detectable concentrations of IDS protein (24.8 microg/L), but no IDS protein was detected in plasma from MPS II patients.
