For information on obtaining the services listed below, or for other information, contact Genzyme Belgium.

Enzyme Assay Diagnostic Service:

The diagnosis of MPS I disease is confirmed by the assay of the deficient enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase. Blood samples are the most practical way to test enzyme activity in the plasma or leukocytes.

Urinary GAG Testing Service

Clearance of the accumulating substrate GAG can serve as a surrogate marker of treatment response.

Genotyping Service

MPS I disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. DNA analysis can be a valuable tool for investigating family pedigrees.

Contact your local Genzyme representative or e-mail us for a copy of our CD-ROM, which contains MPS I presentations in PowerPoint format.
