The effects can be varied, from physical impairments to mental limitations, and they often affect children. For patients living with MPS, this often means a lifelong battle against symptoms such as reduced mobility, heart problems, breathing difficulties and much more. This is not only a physical challenge, but also an emotional and financial burden for the families caring for their loved ones.
Although MPS is a rare disease, it is a major challenge for those affected and their families.
