mucopolysaccharidoses

What are the treatment options for MPS?

While there is no cure for MPS, several treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life:
- Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is available for some types of MPS, such as MPS I, II, and VI. ERT involves regular infusions of the deficient enzyme.
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may be considered for severe MPS I and some cases of MPS II and VII. HSCT aims to replace the defective enzyme-producing cells with healthy ones.
- Supportive treatments include physical therapy, surgical interventions to correct skeletal abnormalities, and respiratory support.
