Mucopolysaccharidose de type VI (MPS VI) - Pinscher Nain

Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of inherited metabolic disorders due to a lack of lysosomal enzymes that are required for a catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Skin, blood vessels, tendon and bone require GAG for maintaining the structure and function of these tissues. Accumulation of GAG in cells and tissues due to a reduced enzymatic function leads to progressive cellular damage. Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI in dogs affects bones, eyes and joints. Disease manifests in umbilical hernia, cardiovascular dysfunction, hepatomegaly, growth retardation, facial dysmorphia, hip and other joint laxities. Currently there are no available treatments and the disease progresses with time, therefore dogs are usually euthanized before they reach adulthood. Canine MPS VI was reported in Great Dane, Miniature Pinscher, Toy Poodle and Miniature Schnauzer. Different breeds have different mutations within the same gene that are the cause of the MPS VI.
