Alternate Names : Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Galactosamine-6-Sulfatase Deficiency), Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVB (Beta Galactosidase Deficiency)
Morquio Syndrome Prognosis (Expectations)
Bone abnormalities represent a significant problem, and correction through surgery should be made where possible. For example, small vertebrae at the top of the neck can cause slippage that damages the spinal cord so that paralysis may result. Death may occur as a result of cardiac complications.
