The mucopolysaccharide storage diseases (the
mucopolysaccharidoses) are a clinically and
genetically heterogeneous group of lysosomal
storage diseases caused by defects in different
enzymes for mucopolysaccharide degradation
(glycosaminoglycans). Except for mucopolysaccharide
storage disease type II (Hunter), all are
transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance.
