Morquio syndrome, nonkeratan-sulfate-excreting type (medical condition)

A rare inherited biochemical disorder characterized by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans) in various body tissues due to insufficient amounts of certain enzymes needed to break it down. This disorder is distinguished form other similar conditions by the fact that no keratosulfate is excreted in the urine. See also Nonkeratan-sulfate-excreting Morquio syndrome
