Mucopolysaccharidosis type 2

A lysosomal storage disease with multisystemic involvement leading to a massive accumulation of glycosaminoglycans and a wide variety of symptoms including distinctive coarse facial features, short stature, cardio-respiratory involvement and skeletal abnormalities. It manifests as a continuum varying from a severe form with neurodegeneration to an attenuated form without neuronal involvement.
