  Purpose

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) I, II, and VI are a group of rare, lysosomal storage disorders in which certain enzymes are missing that are normally required for breaking down specific complex carbohydrates.

Deficiencies in these enzymes result in the build-up of toxic substances in various tissues and cause damage to the body's organs. In the past, children diagnosed with MPS I, II, or VI frequently died in early to late childhood. Recent advances in treatments including hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) have been helping children with these disorders live into adulthood.

Although it appears that poor growth and abnormal bone development persist, this has not yet been well studied. Researchers would like to know more about the long-term course of MPS I, II, and VI. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to learn more about growth, bone disease and endocrine dysfunction in children with MPS I, II and VI over time. This information is needed to:

  1. determine long-term benefits and limitations of current treatments including HCT or ERT
  2. direct development of further treatment options
  3. improve clinical care for children affected by the disorders

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of MPS I, II, or VI
  • Ability to travel to study center for evaluations.
  • Age ≥ 5 years and < 18 years: age at entry into study must be ≥5 years and ≤16 years to ensure a minimum of 2 study visits.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy (will be determined at each study visit)
  • Participation in any other study within the past 12 months which would result in increasing the child's radiation exposure above 500 mrem for the calendar year.
  • Participants who cannot comply with study procedures or have other factors that would inhibit their participation as determined by the PI's discretion.
