Everything You Need to Know About Keenan Cahill’s Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome.
According to MedlinePlus, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type VI or MPS VI. It is a chronic condition that:
“it enlarges various tissues and organs, causing them to swell, become inflamed or damaged, and eventually disappear” (atrophy). This disease is also characterized by skeletal anomalies. The rate at which symptoms worsen varies from person to person.”
People with a similar condition often have skeletal deformities such as large heads, low height, and joint deformities that can interfere with movement. Patients can also develop carpal tunnel syndrome and have a small spinal canal. There may also be significant vision and hearing loss, as well as a soft sac around the midsection. This condition does not affect IQ. Heart problems are common in patients with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. Respiratory problems can include narrowing of the airways, which contribute to sleep apnea, and respiratory infections.
The severity of the problem determines the life expectancy of people with this condition. Without the necessary therapy, the person may only live until puberty or late childhood. People with minor symptoms may survive to adulthood. However, their life expectancy is reduced as the respiratory diseases associated with the condition play a significant role in their mortality.
