Explore the daily life of an MPS patient through advancing MPS research

When a baby with MPS is born, there is nothing to suggest what will happen in the future. With improved MPS research, we learn about the light and shadow in the daily life of an MPS patient.

With the help of our Partners, MPS Austria, this eBook explores the evolving life of an MPS patient. Delving into MPS (mucopolysaccharidoses), we gain an insight into what a patient endures during their early years in life, the affect this rare disease has on their teen and adult years, and what societies across the world are doing, through growing MPS research, to improve awareness and future therapies of the disease.
