Abstract
This chapter deals with the inborn errors of catabolism (degradation) of mucopolysaccharides (or the new term glycosaminoglycans). The mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of heritable disorders of man that are characterized by accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the lysosomes of all cells of the body (except red blood cells) and increased excretion in the urine.
