MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma
MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors with confirmed mucopolysaccharidosis type II, an X-linked iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) deficiency. Suitable for enzyme activity assays, glycosaminoglycan substrate quantification, plasma proteomics, and enzyme replacement therapy response research. Matched healthy controls available.
MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma for Lysosomal Storage Disease Research
MPS II Hunter Syndrome Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type II and processed under standardised SOPs. Plasma is an acellular matrix and is intended for soluble-analyte work; cell-based assays should use the PBMC or whole blood product instead.
The IDS Gene Defect and Why Plasma
MPS II is a monogenic, X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in IDS, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. It is a genetic enzyme deficiency, not an autoimmune or inflammatory condition.
- Loss of iduronate-2-sulfatase activity blocks a step in glycosaminoglycan catabolism, so partially degraded dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate accumulate in lysosomes across many tissues
- Undegraded glycosaminoglycans spill into the circulation and urine, which is why circulating GAG and derived-GAG measurement is a standard research readout for this disease
- Because inheritance is X-linked recessive, affected donors are predominantly male; carrier females are typically unaffected or mildly affected
- Presentation spans a broad spectrum, from attenuated somatic disease to severe forms with progressive neurological involvement, and genotype does not fully predict phenotype
- Enzyme replacement therapy is established clinical practice, so anti-drug antibody and treatment-response research is an active area that plasma directly supports
- Plasma allows enzyme activity assays, substrate quantification by mass spectrometry, proteomics, and immunoassay work from a single acellular matrix
Donor Stratification Available
- Attenuated versus severe (neuronopathic) clinical phenotype
- Enzyme replacement therapy status: treatment-naive, currently treated, or previously treated
- Age at diagnosis and current age band, including paediatric where available
- Method of diagnostic confirmation: enzyme activity assay, molecular IDS genotyping, or both
- Documented organ involvement, such as cardiac, respiratory, skeletal, or CNS
- Matched healthy controls available
