Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disease that affects multiple organ systems and tissues. The disease is caused by a defect in the gene coding for the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase. As a result of this defect, the cells of affected individuals with MPS I are either unable to produce the enzyme or produce it in low amounts.
