Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare disease in which the body is missing or does not have enough of an enzyme needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules. These chains of molecules are called glycosaminoglycans use to be called mucopolysaccharides. As a result, the molecules build up in different parts of the body and cause various health problems.
