Morquio-Brailsford Disease

Morgio-Brailsford disease is a rare genetic disease that belongs to the group of mucopolysaccharidoses. It is caused by a defect in the enzymes necessary to break down glycosaminoglycans (one of the types of complex carbohydrates). Due to the accumulation of unsplit glycosaminoglycans in tissues and organs, severe dysfunctions develop.

The main symptoms of Morgio-Brailsford disease:

1. Disproportionately short stature, skeletal and joint deformities.

2. Damage to the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, liver, spleen.

3. Visual and hearing impairments.

4. Mental retardation.

Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. The prognosis is unfavorable, life expectancy is reduced.

Thus, Morgio-Brailsford disease is a severe hereditary disease that causes multiple damage to organs and body systems. Timely diagnosis and comprehensive therapy can improve the quality of life of patients.

Morhui-Brailarsford disease is a rare genetic disease that is characterized by impaired development of connective tissue in the human body. The name of the disease comes from the names of two scientists who described its symptoms: American doctors Gerard Morhui and Earl Brailarsford.

Currently, Morhui-Brailarfored disease is included in the group of so-called Orphan diseases and remains incurable. However, thanks to modern diagnostic methods, doctors can determine whether a patient has this disease in childhood and help him cope with the development of symptoms that can worsen the quality of life, significantly reducing its duration.

Understanding the pathogenesis of Morhua-Brillar disease is key to developing treatments. Specialists
