What are the treatments for hunters syndrome?
Hunters syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that happens when an enzyme malfunctions or is missing completely. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Hunter's syndrome at this time.

DNA encodes enzymes so it is possible for an individual to have a genetic disorder that causes them to lack a specific enzyme?
Yes, genetic disorders can result in a deficiency or lack of specific enzymes due to mutations in the corresponding genes. This can lead to disruptions in biochemical pathways, causing health issues or diseases in affected individuals. Treatment approaches may involve enzyme replacement therapy or gene therapy to address such deficiencies.
