Mucolipid Storage Type Ⅱ

Mucolipidosis type Ⅱ is also called inclusion cell disease (I-cell disease). Its clinical features are more similar to Hurler syndrome, manifested by obvious clinical and X-ray abnormalities at birth, slow response, but no mucopolysaccharideuria. Skin fibroblasts have a large number of coarse cytoplasmic inclusions. Leroy et al. (1967) first discovered the disease, and Spranger (1970) classified it as mucolipidosis type II.
