Children with Sanfilippo Syndrome are missing an essential enzyme that breaks down a complex body sugar called heparan sulfate. This sugar slowly builds in the bones, the brain and other organs, stopping normal development and causing hyperactivity, sleep disorders, loss of speech, mental retardation, dementia, and finally death by the mid teens. There is no cure or treatment yet. Sanfilippo Syndrome is one of seven Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) disorders. There are four different enzyme deficiencies that cause Sanfilippo, which are described as types A, B, C & D. There is very little difference between ther four types, t hough there have been a few very mild cases of the B form reported where the children have remained relatively healthy into early adult life.
