skeleton

increased cranium width ( J:34831 )

• biparietal diameter of the skull is enlarged starting around 4 weeks of age

short maxilla ( J:34831 )

decreased length of long bones ( J:34831 )

• long bones are shortened and broadened

abnormal pelvic girdle bone morphology ( J:34831 )

• pelvic abnormality

abnormal rib morphology ( J:34831 )

• ribs exhibit thickening and wavy, irregular surfaces

abnormal cartilage morphology ( J:34831 )

• irregular structure, thickened cartilage

• cartilaginous anlagen of vertebrae as well as skull exhibit a perturbed structure and an irregular surface and contain ballooned chondroctyes

abnormal tracheal cartilage morphology ( J:34831 )

• at 4 weeks of age, tracheal cartilages are thickened and exhbiit an irregular structure with ballooned, vacuolated chondrocytes

disorganized long bone epiphyseal plate ( J:34831 )

• growth plates of long bones are highly broadened at 4 weeks of age, the columnar arrangement of chondrocytes is lost, and ballooned and vaculolated chondrocytes are found not only in the opening zone as in wild-type but also across the longitudinal extension of growth plates

increased long bone epiphyseal plate size ( J:34831 )

• growth plates of long bones are highly broadened at 4 weeks of age, the columnar arrangement of chondrocytes is lost, and ballooned and vaculolated chondrocytes are found not only in the opening zone as in wild-type but also across the longitudinal extension of growth plates

hematopoietic system

abnormal blood cell morphology/development ( J:34831 )

• in blood smears, coarse granular inclusion bodies similar to Alder-Reilly bodies in human MPS VI are seen in almost all polymorphonuclear leukocytes and in about 50% of lymphocytes

respiratory system

abnormal tracheal cartilage morphology ( J:34831 )

• at 4 weeks of age, tracheal cartilages are thickened and exhbiit an irregular structure with ballooned, vacuolated chondrocytes

cellular

abnormal cell morphology ( J:34831 )

• storage of glycosaminoglycans is observed in the liver, lung, kidney, blood vessels, spleen, trachea, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, pancreas, salivary gland, testis, skin, adrenal gland, and lymph nodes
