What is Mucopolysaccharides (MPS) Type-I?

This test screens for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I), a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase. This enzyme is essential for breaking down complex sugars (mucopolysaccharides) in the body.

Why is this test important?

Early diagnosis of MPS I is crucial as it allows for timely intervention and management, which can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life. The test helps confirm the diagnosis and differentiate it from other lysosomal storage disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
