Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Mucopolysaccharidosis-II (MPS-II) Hunter Syndrome Forecast in 26 Major Markets 2017-2027" report to their offering.

Mucopolysaccharidosis-II, also known as MPS-II or Hunter syndrome, is part of the Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) disorders - a group of rare genetic disorders caused by deficiencies of lysosomal enzymes. MPS II is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS gene) leading to progressive accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in nearly all cell types, tissues and organs. It is a progressively debilitating disorder; however, the rate of progression varies among affected individuals.

Unlike other MPS disorders, MPS-II nearly exclusively affects males since it is an X-linked disorder. Few cases of females have been noted; however these cases tend to milder and very rare. MPS-II is typically classified as Severe (with neurological / cognitive impairment) or attenuated / mild (wthout neurological / cognitive impairment).
