Morquio-Ullrich's disease

Pattern of Urinary Acid Mucopolysaccharide Excretion in Five Patients with Genetic Mucopolysaccharidoses

“…In our cases, increased amounts of the various acid mucopolysaccharides with exception of both chondroitin sulfates A and C were found. In the urine of patients with Morquio syndrome, the occurrence of keratosulfate, chondroitin sulfate B, heparitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfates has been reported by several workers (Zellweger et al 1961;Pedrini et al 1962;Kaplan et al 1968;Sartorelli 1968). Furthermore, Dorfman and Matalon (1972) found an elevated concentration of chondroitin sulfates A and C in a patient with Morquio syndrome.…”

Etude ultrastructurelle du foie dans la maladie de Morquio

“…SCHENK et HAGGERTY [ l l ] ont mis en Cvidence, par l'ttude cyto-chimique, des inclusions mucopolysaccharidiques dans les histiocytes et dans les chondrocytes du cartilage de conjugaison. Par ailleurs; des granulations mktachromatiques ont kt6 dtcrites dans des leucocytes par ZELLWEGER et al [16].…”

Diagnostic Value of Isolated Urinary Mucopolysaccharides and Lymphocyte Inclusions in Gargoylism

“…The recessive enchondral dysostoses, such as the Morquio-Brailsford-Ullrich syndrome (reviewed by Grebe, 1959), gargoylism (reviewed by McKusick, 1960), Ribbing's (1937) epiphysial dysostosis and a number of observations difficult to classify, form a group of diseases with clinical and radiological symptoms overlapping to such an extent that some authors (Eichenberger, 1954;Zellweger, Ponseti, Pedrini, Stamler and von Noorden, 1961) even consider them as one nosological entity. In some, but not in every case, of these diseases, enlarged granules have been found in the polymorphonuclear leucocytes.…”
