Hurler syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis I
(MPS I) is an uncommon hereditary issue ailment of digestion in which a
human body can’t separate long chains of sugar particles called
glycosaminoglycansdue due to an insufficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase, an
enzyme responsible for the degradation of mucopolysaccharides in
lysosomes. Moreover, without the alpha-L-iduronidase catalyst, a
development of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate takes place in the
body. Symptoms of Hurler syndrome appear in the early stage of life
(childhood) and can lead to death due to organ harm or damage. Symptoms
of Hurler syndrome appear between 3 years and 8 years. Infants with
severe Hurler syndrome seem normal at birth. Facial signs and symptoms
become more clear and visible during the first two years of life. Hurler
syndrome is marked by progressive weakening, hepatosplenomegaly,
dwarfism, and unique facial features. There is progressive mental
retardation, with death frequently occurring by the age of 10.
Report Overview @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/hurler-syndrome-market.html
The mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) or
Hurler syndrome market has been segmented based on diagnosis, treatment,
and region. In terms of diagnosis, the market has been categorized into
blood test, urine test, amniocentesis, genetic testing, and others. The
blood test segment held the largest share of the market due to easy
access for outpatient department (OPD) patients to carry out tests. The
genetic testing segment is likely to witness strong growth during the
forecast period due to increasing awareness about mucopolysaccharidosis I
(MPS I) or Hurler syndrome. In terms of treatment, the market has been
categorized into enzyme replacement therapy, bone marrow
transplantation, surgery, and others. The enzyme replacement therapy
segment holds the largest share of the mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I)
or Hurler syndrome market due to increasing incidence of syndrome
globally. The bone marrow transplantation (BMT) segment is likely to
witness significant growth in the next few years driven by effective
treatment of the syndrome.
Geographically, the mucopolysaccharidosis
I (MPS I) or Hurler syndrome market has been segmented into five major
regions: North America (U.S. and Canada), Europe (Germany, France, U.K.,
etc.), Asia Pacific (Australia, China, Japan, India, etc.), Latin
America (Brazil, Mexico, etc.), and Middle East &Africa (GCC
Countries, South Africa, etc.). North America is the leading market for
mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) or Hurler syndrome in terms of revenue,
followed by Europe. The U.S. holds the largest share of the market in
the region. Asia Pacific and Latin America are emerging markets, which
are expected to witness strong growth during the forecast period from
2017 to 2025. Strong growth in these regions is attributed to increasing
incidence of syndrome, rising health care industries, and increase in
government investment to develop health care infrastructure. The
mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) or Hurler syndrome market in countries
such as China, India, and Brazil is projected to expand at high growth
rate during the forecast period due to increase in awareness among the
population about the syndrome and its treatment.
Other factors that drive the
mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) or Hurler syndrome market are rising
prevalence of syndrome, increasing novel drug treatment, high adoption
and acceptance in developing markets, and innovations and developments
in treatment. The market is also experiencing certain restraints such as
high possibilities of substance abuse and addiction, complications and
severity involved in treatment, high cost of treatment, and lack of
awareness among the rural population in developing and underdeveloped
economies.
The treatment regime for
mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) or Hurler syndrome is determined
depending on the severity of the symptoms and varies from patient to
patient and case to case. Since there is no permanent cure for the
syndrome, treatment primarily focuses on management of signs,
indications, and complications associated with the disease progression.
Palliative care is given to manage various conditions such as heart
complications, respiratory complications, behavioral and neurological
complications, sleep issues, and skeletal and connective tissue
problems.
