MPS I is an inherited genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA). It presents phenotypically as a spectrum ranging from severe (historically Hurler Syndrome) to attenuated (historically Hurler-Scheie and Scheie Syndromes).

Diagnostic tests include IDUA activity analysis or molecular testing, and can be used to support an MPS I diagnosis.
The MPS I Registry program, sponsored and administered by Sanofi Genzyme, is a worldwide database that has been tracking health-related information for people with MPS I since 2003, helping doctors and healthcare professionals to understand the disorder.
