The Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI), also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (OMIM 253200) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder, caused by the deficiency of the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (also known as arylsulfatase B) due to mutations of the ARSB gene.
An epidemiological study of the mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) in Northern Ireland using multiple ascertainment sources was carried out and the incidence rate for the period 1958-1985 was estimated. An incidence of approximately 1 in 76,000 live births was obtained for MPS 1H (Hurler phenotype); 1 in
In the systemic mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) in animals, corneal clouding resulted from storage of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in stromal keratocytes. The corneal epithelium was normal (MPS VI and VII) or minimally affected (MPS I), and stromal edema was not a feature even though the corneal endothelium
