| Mucopolysaccharidosis type III : Mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPS III) is a rare disease in which the body is missing or does not have enough of certain enzymes needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules. These chains of molecules are called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides). As a result, the molecules build up in different parts of the body and cause various health problems. The condition belongs to a group of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs). MPS III is also known as Sanfilippo syndrome. There are several other types of MPSs, including: - MPS I - (Hurler syndrome; Hurler-Scheie syndrome; Scheie syndrome) - MPS II - (Hunter syndrome) - MPS IV - (Morquio syndrome) | |
