Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a multisystem disease caused by the body's inability to perform a metabolic process specific to lysosomal degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).The progressive accumulation of GAG in various organs and tissues results in functional and structural disorders in individuals affected by MPS.MPS type II is an inherited metabolic disease, linked to the X chromosome, whose main impairment is the delay in neuropsychomotor development.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the motor development of children affected by MPS II.A case study was carried out with two children, attending the "APAE Maceio" Resumo: A mucopolissacaridose (MPS) é uma doença multissistêmica decorrente da incapacidade do organismo em realizar um processo metabólico específico da degradação lisossômica dos glicosaminoglicanos (GAGs).
