Professor Maurizio Scarpa: working with families affected by MPS II

Professor Maurizio Scarpa is a world-leading expert on Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II, MPS II), having been involved in the research and management of this rare disease, as a paediatrician since 1986.

In this video, Professor Scarpa explains what Hunter syndrome is, and how it impacts families before and after a diagnosis.

Children with Hunter syndrome often don’t show any signs of the condition at birth, however, as they get older they can experience a combination of childhood complaints, including regular ear infections and hernias. They may also be affected by developmental delays.

An uncommon combination of common childhood complaints may raise suspicion of Hunter syndrome. If you have any concerns, please speak to your physician about Hunter syndrome.
