  1. hurler's syndrome

    Hurler's Syndrome, also known as Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I), is a rare, inherited lysosomal storage disease characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down certain complex sugars. The absence or deficient activity of this enzyme leads to the buildup of these sugars in various tissues and organs, which interferes with their normal functioning. Symptoms may include growth delay, skeletal and joint deformities, coarse facial features, clouding of the cornea, mental retardation, and cardiac complications. It is usually severe and life-threatening in early childhood. Named after German pediatrician Gertrud Hurler, it is usually diagnosed in infancy or early childhood.
