A five-year-old boy with coarse facial features, mental retardation, dysostosis multiplex. Corneal clouding was not present. What is the diagnosis:

A
MPS Type IV
B
Hurler disease
C
Hunter disease
D
Gaucher's disease
High-Yield Explanation
Coarse facial features is a typical feature of Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). Hunter disease : MPS Type II, Iduronate Sulfatase is deficient. X-linked recessive, so occurs exclusively in males. No corneal clouding. Dermatan sulphate & Heparin Sulphate accumulates. Accumulation of Heparin Sulphate leads to mental retardation. Corneal clouding is present in Hurler disease so option 2 is ruled out
