There are two types Freak(Kevin has type A. It is a very rare diagnosis that affects 1 in 200,000 births.]]> 2017-03-02 19:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bbryson1/83om4lj1l8ej/wish/157455255 https://padlet.com/bbryson1/83om4lj1l8ej/wish/157455486 Morquio syndrome  It is a rare type of birth defect with serious consequences. The disease presents when the body is missing or doesn't have enough of a substance needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules freak the might suffers from this disease witch affects his metabolism ]]> 2017-03-02 19:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bbryson1/83om4lj1l8ej/wish/157455486 https://padlet.com/bbryson1/83om4lj1l8ej/wish/157484879 Morquio syndrome is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder that most often affects the skeleton. Also known as MPS IV, Morquio syndrome is part of a group of diseases called MPS. MPS is defined by the body's inability to break down large sugar chains called glycosaminoglycans . As a result, these molecules build up in the body and interfere with cell function. There are two forms of Morquio syndrome: Type A and Type B. Morquio A syndrome, or MPS IVA, results from a deficiency in the enzyme galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase (GALNS). Morquio B syndrome (MPS IVB), which is rarer and less severe than MPS IVA, results from a deficiency in the enzyme beta-galactosidase. Without either of these enzymes, the body cannot break down certain glycosaminoglycans, particularly keratan sulfate. Morquio syndrome is an autosomal recessive trait, meaning that you can only develop the disorder if you inherit two mutated genes — one from your mother and one from your father. Neither parent will likely show any signs or symptoms of the condition. Teeth are wide apart. They have giant skulls. Their spine could be twisted. Knee-knocked.
