“…MPS are lysosomal storage diseases in human beings and domestic animals generally inherited by an autosomal recessive trait (Skelly and Franklin 2002, Hordeaux and others 2011). MPS have been described in cats (Coates and Kline 1995, Crawley and others 1998, Schultheiss and others 2000, Macri and others 2002, Crawley and others 2003, Hordeaux and others 2011), dogs (Coates and Kline 1995, Haskins and Giger 1997, Ray and others 1998, Wilkerson and others 1998, Jolly and others 2001, Ellinwood and others 2003, Dombrowski and others 2004, Jolly and others 2007, Hordeaux and others 2011), rats (Yoshida and others 1993a, b), mice (Birkenmeier and others 1989, Clarke and others 1997, Tomatsu and others 2005), goats (Thompson and others 1992) and emus (Aronovich and others 2001) (Tables 1 and 2). Affected animals are normal at birth but they then have progressive growth abnormalities and generally exhibit neurologic abnormalities, skeletal abnormalities, or both (Crawley and others 1998, Jolly and others 2001, Crawley and others 2003).…”
