Mean birth weight and its association with disease severity was investigated in 609 patients enrolled in the Hunter Outcome Survey (HOS). This analysis indicated that birth weight is not an early marker of MPS II and is not associated with disease severity. It remains important to investigate the utility of other factors for early/pre-symptomatic diagnosis.en-USERT, enzyme replacement therapyHOS, Hunter Outcome SurveyMPS II, mucopolysaccharidosis type IISD, standard deviationGrowthHunter syndromeLysosomal storage diseaseIduronate-2-sulfatase deficiencyJournal Article2017-06-1510.1016/j.ymgmr.2017.02.004
