📋Overview
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. This leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues, causing progressive multisystemic symptoms. It primarily affects males and is part of the broader group of mucopolysaccharidoses.
