Hunter syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disease in which large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (or GAGs or mucopolysaccharides) build up in body tissues. Hunter syndrome is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S).
