Extract

The principal clinical features of this rare, familial disease are the triad of skeletal deformities, structural anomalies of the cardiovascular system, and mental subnormality.

The syndrome is attributed to a recessive gene, and Morquio (1929) held the view that the underlying pathology consisted of mucoid changes occurring in the cartilages in place of their normal calcification.
