Is there a way to avoid transferring Morquio's syndrome from parent to child?
There is no way to be absolutely positive that your child will not have Morquio's syndrome if both parents have the gene, but there are genetic screenings to help prevent having a child with Morquio's syndrome.
How can Morquio's syndrome be prevented?
It is a genetic syndrome that makes it impossible to metabolize certain mucopolysaccharides. It cannot be prevented once born. It can be treated. The only way to prevent it is to use reproductive technology to make sure a child with it is not conceived.
How does Kevin improve Max's life in Freak the Mighty?
Kevin had a birth defect called Morquio Syndrome. Morquio Syndrome is an inherited disease in which a person does not have enough of a substance called glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans break down long chains of sugar molecules, called keratan sulfate. The syndrome belongs in a bigger group called mucopolysaccharidoses, also known as MPS IV. One type of Morquio Syndrome is Type A, which means the person lacks the enzyme galactosamine 6 sulfatase. The other type, Type B, means the enzyme beta- galactosidase is lacking. If the body lacks either of these enzymes, it can not break down the glycosaminoglycan, so it builds up in the body and brain, which can damage organs. The syndrome occurs in one of every 200,000 births. The only way a child can get Morquio is if both parents either have it, or are carriers because it is a autosomal recessive trait.
Is there a cure for Morquio's Syndrome?
Morquio Syndrome is an inherited metabolic disease. Symptoms include an enlarged heart, dwarfism, abnormal skeletal development and knock-knees. There is no cure for Morquio Syndrome but it can be treated with a drug called Vimizim.
