Sanfilippo Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down certain sugars, leading to a buildup of harmful substances in cells. It is classified as a type of mucopolysaccharidosis and primarily impacts the nervous system, causing progressive neurological decline. Symptoms often appear in early childhood and may include developmental delays, behavioral issues, and loss of motor skills. The syndrome is caused by mutations in one of several genes responsible for producing enzymes needed to process heparan sulfate, a type of sugar molecule. There is currently no cure for Sanfilippo Syndrome, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life for affected individuals.
