MPS Awareness Day
M.P.S. Awareness Day is celebrated annually on May 15. This annual celebration serves as a means to spread awareness of Mucopolysaccharidosis (M.P.S.) Disorders. M.P.S. society members do their best to educate and create awareness about the diagnosis, symptoms, and management of M.P.S. each year. Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by the body’s inability to produce a specific enzyme. The missing or insufficient enzyme prevents cells from recycling waste, resulting in the storage of materials in cells throughout the body. M.P.S. has over 40 hereditary illnesses caused by a failure of the lysosome organelles.
