Explanation
Inherited diseases, such as mucopolysaccharidoses, are manifested in metabolic disorders of connective tissue, bone and joint pathologies. The sign of this disease is the excessive urinary excretion of the following substance:Hunter syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis type II, is a rare disease that shows X-linked recessive inheritance. Mucopolysaccharidoses are a different type of lysosomal storage disease in which the substrates that accumulate in the lysosomes are extracellular matrix molecules called glycosaminoglycans (which were previously known as mucopolysaccharides). Diagnosis often can be made through clinical examination and urine tests (excess mucopolysaccharides are excreted in the urine).
