1. lipochondrodystrophy

   Hurler syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis Type IH (MPS-IH), Hurler's disease, and formerly gargoylism, is a genetic disorder that results in the buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in lysosomes. The inability to break down these molecules results in a wide variety of symptoms caused by damage to several different organ systems, including but not limited to the nervous system, skeletal system, eyes, and heart. The underlying mechanism is a deficiency of alpha-L iduronidase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down GAGs.: 544  Without this enzyme, a buildup of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate occurs in the body. Symptoms appear during childhood, and early death usually occurs. Other, less severe forms of MPS Type I include Hurler-Scheie Syndrome (MPS-IHS) and Scheie Syndrome (MPS-IS). Hurler syndrome is classified as a lysosomal storage disease. It is clinically related to Hunter syndrome (MPS II); however, Hunter syndrome is X-linked, while Hurler syndrome is autosomal recessive.

1. lipochondrodystrophy

   Lipochondrodystrophy, also known as lipodystrophy or lipatrophic diabetes, is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by the abnormal distribution of fat in the body, which can lead to a variety of health issues, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, high cholesterol, liver disease, and heart disease. In some forms of the condition, abnormalities in the growth and development of the bone and cartilage (chondrodystrophy) are also observed. The severity and specific symptoms can vary greatly depending upon the exact type of lipochondrodystrophy a person has.
