          Abstract

          A 62-year-old man who had aortic stenosis associated with Scheie's syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis [MPS], type I-S) successfully underwent aortic valve replacement. The composition of acidic glycosaminoglycans (acid mucopolysaccharides) of the excised aortic valve analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) supported the diagnosis of Scheie's syndrome. This article reviews the literature on aortic stenosis in MPS, a rare inherited metabolic disorder, and discusses biochemical features and surgical repair.
