Morquio syndrome?
DefinitionMorquio syndrome is an inherited disease of metabolism in which the body is missing or doesn't have enough of a substance needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides).The syndrome belongs to a group of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Specifically, it is known as MPS IV.See also:MPS I H (Hurler syndrome)MPS II, Hunter syndromeMPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome)MPS I S (Scheie syndrome)Alternative NamesMucopolysaccharidosis type IVA; Galactosamine-6-sulfatase deficiency; Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVB; Beta galactosidase deficiency; MPS IVCauses, incidence, and risk factorsMorquio syndrome is an autosomal recessive trait. That means both your parents must pass you the defective gene in order for you to get this disease.There are two forms of Morquio syndrome: Type A and Type B.Persons with Type A do not have a substance (enzyme) called galactosamine-6-sulfatase.Persons with Type B do not produce enough of an enzyme called beta-galactosidase.The body needs these enzymes to break down a long strand of sugar molecules called the keratan sulfate sugar chain. In both types, abnormally large amounts of glycosaminoglycans build up in the body and brain, which can damage organs.The syndrome is estimated to occur in 1 of every 200,000 births. Symptoms usually start between ages 1 and 3. A family history of the syndrome raises one's risk for the condition.SymptomsAbnormal development of bones, including the spineBell-shaped chest with ribs flared out at the bottomCoarse facial featuresHypermobile jointsKnock-kneesLarge head (macrocephaly)Short staturewith a particularly short trunkWidely spaced teethSigns and testsThe doctor will perform a physical examination. Examination and testing may reveal:Abnormal curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis)Cloudy corneaHeart murmur (aortic regurgitation)Inguinal herniaLiver enlargementLoss of nerve function below the neckShort stature (especially short trunk)Urine tests are usually done first. These tests may show extra mucopolysaccharides, but they can't determine the specific form of MPS.Other tests may include:Blood cultureEchocardiogramGenetic testingHearing testSlit-lamp eye examSkin fibroblast cultureX-rays of the long bones, ribs, and spinePersons with Morquio syndrome should have MRI of the lower skull and upper neck to determine if the upper vertebrae are underdeveloped.TreatmentThere is no specific treatment for Morquio syndrome. Symptoms are treated as they occur.A spinal fusion may prevent irreversible spinal cord injury in persons whose neck bones are underdeveloped.Support GroupsNational MPS Society --www.mpssociety.orgExpectations (prognosis)Cognitive (thinking) function is usually normal in patients with Morquio syndrome.Bone problems can lead to significant complications. For example, the small bones at the top of the neck may slip and damage the spinal cord, causing paralysis. Surgery to correct such problems should be done if possible.Heart (cardiac) complications may lead to death.ComplicationsBreathing problemsHeart failureSpinal cord damage and possible paralysisVision problemsWalking problems related to abnormal curvature of the spine and other bone problemsCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if symptoms of Morquio syndrome occur.PreventionGenetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Morquio syndrome. Counseling is also recommended for families who have a child with Morquio syndrome, to help them understand the condition and possible treatments.ReferencesNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Some principals of public speaking are helpful and should be followed for comfort and the most productive public speaking.
