Home MPS III Sanfilippo syndrome is a mucopolysaccharide disorder and is also known respectively as MPS - III. It takes its name from Dr. Sylvester Sanfilippo who was one of the doctors in the United States who described the condition in 1963. mucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecule used in the building of connective tissues in the body. "saccharide" is a general term for a sugar molecule (think of saccharin) "poly" means many "muco" refers to the thick jelly-like consistency of the molecules There is a continuous process in the body of replacing used materials and breaking them down for disposal. Children with Sanfilippo syndrome are missing an enzyme which is essential in cutting up the used mucopolysaccharides called heparan sulfate. The incomplete broken down mucopolysaccharides remain stored in cells in the body causing progressive damage. Babies may show little sign of the disorder, but as more and more cells become damaged, symptoms start to appear. N ew informative booklets are now available detailing the mucopolysaccharide disorders. These booklets are designed to be a day to day living guide for the MPS family and provide much insight as to the natural progression of the disorders in a positive and helpful manner. The booklets are also designed to be a tool for the professional who will encounter MPS children and their families.

A B C D ... OVERIG Mucopolysaccharidose III (MPS III) Synoniemen Sanfilippo syndroom Korte beschrijving Mucopolysaccharidose III (MPS III) is een zeldzame erfelijke en aangeboren stofwisselingsziekte die valt onder de lysosomale stapelingsziekten. Lysosomale stapelingsziekten zijn aandoeningen waarbij er door een verandering in het erfelijk materiaal een stoornis is in de lysosomen. Lysosomen zijn kleine organen (organellen) in een cel, die met behulp van enzymen -enzymen begeleiden chemische reacties- zorgen voor de afbraak en het hergebruik van veel stoffen. Het ontbreken of niet volledig functioneren van een van deze enzymen zorgt ervoor dat (afval)stoffen zich opstapelen in het lysosoom. Deze opeenstapeling is giftig voor de cel en bemoeilijkt daardoor het functioneren van het lysosoom, en uiteindelijk ook van de hele cel. Dit veroorzaakt ten slotte schade in weefsels en organen. Vanwege het ophopen van (afval)stoffen wordt over lysosomale stapelingsziekten gesproken. MPS III wordt veroorzaakt door stapeling van bepaalde suikers, mucopolysacchariden. Deze suikers maken normaal deel uit van een beschermingslaag die om cellen heen zit. De stapeling ontstaat door een gebrek aan activiteit van een van vier verschillende enzymen, die elk een ander type MPS III geven (A t/m D). Deze typen onderscheiden zich vooral in de ernst van de symptomen en de leeftijd waarop de aandoening het eerst tot uiting komt. Type A is het meest ernstig; dit type komt het vroegst tot uiting en heeft de kortste levensverwachting. De andere typen zijn alle milder van aard.

Terms and Conditions Sanfilippo Disease (MPS III) Sanfilippo disease is a mucopolysaccharide disease also known as MPS lll. It takes its name from Dr. Sanfilippo who was one of the doctors from the United States who described the condition in 1963. What causes this disease? There is a continuous process in the body of replacing used materials and breaking them down for disposal. Children with Sanfilippo disease are missing an enzyme which is essential in cutting up the used mucopolysaccharides. The incompletely broken down mucopolysaccharides remain stored in cells in the body causing progressive damage. Babies and small children may show little sign of the disease but, as more and more cells become damaged, symptoms start to appear. Are there different forms of the disease? To date four different enzyme deficiencies have been found to cause Sanfilippo disease and so the condition is described as type A,B,C or D. Type A is the most common form found in most populations.
