Informazioni generali
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a class of metabolic disorders that typically cause severe neurological problems and other developmental issues. A variant of the disease, type VII (MPS VII, also known as Sly Syndrome) is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene GUSB. The specific variant analysed in this test is found in the Brazilian Terrier. A related variant is also found in the German Shepherd.
