My 8 months old baby is diagnosed with mucopolysaccharoidosis plz help me is there any treatment or what's its cost?

Mucopolysaccharidosi: is a general term for a genetic defect of enzyme production that causes several syndromes with a variety of characteristics that can overlap. They include face and head abnormalities, heart defects, developmental delay, intellectual impairment, skeletal abnormalities, enlarged liver/spleen, enlarged tongue, hernias and abnormal posture. Treatment is management of the above, cost varies.

No good news: If your child has the label of MPS and is symptomatic by age 8 mo, it is likely a severe form with no available cure. You should find out as much as you can from any local source. The university may have a genetics person on staff that can help. This is generally inherited from 2 unaffected parents and can happen again in any future pregnancy.

The good news is : that genetic testing & counseling for all + medical treatment for 6 of the 45 Lysosomal Storage Diseases is provided free of charge at AKUH, Civil Hospital, NICH & Ziauddin Hospitals in Karachi by Drs. Salman Ali, Zareen Fasih, Aisha Mehnaz & others. See www.pulsepakistan.com/index.php/main-news-sep-1-13/450-interfamily-marriages-could-be-a-major-cause-of-lysosomal-storage-disorders. Call now.
