Bob Stevens, MPS II and the MPS Society
Bob Stevens is not only the CEO of the MPS Society UK but has two boys who live with MPS II. In this heartfelt video, he discusses the impact of a diagnosis on the family, and the importance of relationships between all members of the care team.
The mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) diseases are a group of rare, genetic, metabolic disorders. All MPS diseases are inherited in a recessive pattern, meaning that some people might be carriers of the disease but are unaffected. MPS II is different from the other MPS diseases because its inheritance is X-linked, meaning that males are almost exclusively affected.1
People with MPS do not have enough, or any, of an enzyme that is needed to break down a sugar, called a mucopolysaccharide or glycosaminoglycan (GAG). As a result, GAGs build up throughout the body and can cause damage to cells.1
There are seven types of MPS disease that each lack different enzymes required to break down GAGs. All of the MPS disorders are progressive, meaning they worsen with time. They are also all heterogeneous, meaning that they can affect different people differently, often resulting in a spectrum of clinical severity from mildly to severely affected.1
