The MPS Society supports 27 MPS and related diseases including the Mucolipidoses, other ‘storage diseases’ and the following conditions which are similar to Mucopolysaccharide Diseases.

​Symptoms can vary greatly but all forms are characterised by a degree of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment.
