Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I, II, and VI Screening in a High Risk Population With Previous Surgical Repair or Presence of Inguinal and/or Umbilical Hernia in Combination With Pediatric Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgery (Adenoidectomy and/or Tonsillectomy and/or Tympanostomy) (The HATT Project)
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is a rare, X-linked disease
caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) and occurs almost
exclusively in boys, with an incidence of approximately 1.3 per 100,000 live male births.1
Early identification of MPS II is challenging because some initial features, such as chronic
runny nose, otitis media, and hernias, are commonly seen in the general population. As a
result, even though the signs and symptoms of MPS II typically appear early in childhood, the
diagnosis may lag behind by several years.
The primary objective of this international multi-center study is to evaluate the positive
screening rate of MPS II subjects by screening a high-risk male pediatric population who have
had or are scheduled for 1 or more specific ENT surgical procedures (adenoidectomy and/or
tonsillectomy and/or tympanostomy) and who have a previously repaired or present evidence of
an inguinal and/or umbilical hernia.

With evidence-based information from MPS registries regarding the types of surgical
interventions that are most prevalent in MPS, this screening study is expected to provide the
understanding of the role pediatric ENT surgeons can play in identifying young children with
MPS.

3. The subject has had or is scheduled for ENT surgery for any of the following, alone or
in combination: adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, and tympanostomy.
4. The subject has record of previous surgical repair or presence of inguinal and/or
umbilical hernia.
5. The subject's parent(s) or the subject's legally authorized representative(s) has
provided written informed consent that has been approved by the Institutional Review
