Nutritional assessment in children with mucopolysaccharidosis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the nutrition and growth of children with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), a group of rare genetic conditions. The goal is to understand their nutritional needs to improve care and quality of life.

This study looks at how nutrition during pregnancy affects the health of mothers and babies, including gut health and growth. It compares women with low nutrition to those with healthy nutrition.
This study tests whether a special nutrition supplement can help young children (ages 1–5) who are not growing as expected. Researchers will work with Children International centers in the study area to see if the supplement helps children grow taller and healthier.
This study looks at whether giving a high-calorie oral nutrition supplement helps children aged 1 to 3 years who are undernourished gain weight and grow. You may be eligible if your child has low growth measurements and takes in too few calories for their needs.
This study follows people with MPS, a rare genetic condition, to learn more about the disease over time. If you have a confirmed MPS diagnosis, you may be able to join.
This study follows people with MPS IIIC over time to learn more about how the disease progresses. It does not test a new treatment, but the information may help with future care and research.
This trial enrolls people with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) to track their health over time. It may help your care team better understand how the condition behaves and how monitoring should be done.
