“…Analysis of anthropometric measurements in our patient showed differences when compared with those of the normal population, as described previously in the literature for several types of mucopolysaccharidoses (I, II, VI) [5,22,23]. A significant reduction of body height, different body proportions (shortening of the upper and lower extremities, narrowing of the shoulders, chest and hip), and larger head circumference, as well as head length were observed.…”

“…Several MPS and other disorders characterized by growth failure show a correlation of height for age with phenotypic severity as assessed by genotype or surrogate biomarkers (Decker et al 2010;Tarquinio et al 2010;Tylki-Szymanska et al 2010;de Ruijter et al 2013;Hendriksz et al 2013;Jurecka et al 2013). In the MPS VI population, height for age was previously reported to correspond with the pre-ERT uGAG levels (Swiedler et al 2005;Decker et al 2010).…”

“…Irregularities observed in our patients are characteristic for several other mucopolisaccharidoses (MPS I, II, VI) and are caused by disruption of bone and cartilage development, probably beginning in the fetal phase [2,3,5,10]. Our data shows that anthropometric features of patients with MPS VI significantly differ from the healthy population.…”

“…These limitations intensified and became more severe with the patients' age, making patients' self-care more difficult or even impossible. MPS VI patients, similarily to patients with other MPS disease, require introduction of a proper rehabilitation program during the ERT [10]. Practical improvement of joint elasticity achieved by ERT must be enhanced by increased muscle strength achieved by active physical rehabilitation [10].…”
