Long-term clinical effects of enzyme replacement therapy in MPS II
We report clinical results of long-term enzyme replacement therapy in Polish population of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). The therapy was deemed ineffective and was discontinued in the majority of them but reaching the consensus on ineffectiveness of enzyme replacement required often several years.
