A Case of Morquio-Brailford Syndrome
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
The principal clinical features of this rare, familial disease are the triad of skeletal deformities, structural anomalies of the cardiovascular system, and mental subnormality.
The syndrome is attributed to a recessive gene, and Morquio (1929) held the view that the underlying pathology consisted of mucoid changes occurring in the cartilages in place of their normal calcification.
