| | | Description | | | A gel-like substance found in body cells, mucous secretions, and synovial
fluids.
When there is a deficiency of enzymes necessary to
breakdown mucopolysaccharides, a condition called mucopolysaccharidosis
(MPS) exists. Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of genetic disorders that
result in excessive accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in body tissues
and results in many serious physical disorders.
Usually, this
results in various genetic deformities such as skeletal deformities
(especially of the face), mental retardation, and decreased life
expectancy. Examples of these disorders are: Hunter syndrome, Hurler
syndrome, Scheie syndrome, Sanfilippo syndrome, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome,
and Morquio disease.
