Mucolipid Storage Type I

Mucolipidosis type I was previously called lipomucopolysaccharidosis, which is very rare, much like mucopolysaccharidosis type I, but the bones and clinical symptoms are mild, and the mucopolysaccharide excretion in urine is not increased. Lesions develop slowly. There are birefringent inclusion bodies in the cultured fibroblasts, which include histochemical characteristics of glycolipids and acid mucopolysaccharides.
