Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a family of inherited metabolic diseases that results from the deficiency of lysosomal enzymes involved in the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). Despite the well-documented oral and dental findings of MPS type IV, there is not much literature documented about the incidence of this disorder among siblings in the same family. This report outlines the clinical and radiographic findings found in three siblings with Morquio syndrome.
黏多糖贮积症（MPS）是一类遗传性代谢疾病，由参与糖胺聚糖（黏多糖）降解的溶酶体酶缺乏所致。尽管已有关于IV型MPS口腔和牙齿表现的详尽文献记载，但关于同一家庭中兄弟姐妹患该疾病的发病率，文献记载并不多。本报告概述了三名患有Morquio综合征的兄弟姐妹的临床和影像学表现。
