The Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) newborn screening panel is used to report the results of newborn screening for the diagnosis of MPS I, also known as Hurler syndrome, an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to produce an enzyme that is involved in the breakdown of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). MPS I is caused by mutations in the IDUA gene and has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
