Summary:

This project aims to find the underpinnings of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clinical/radiological severity in mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) and relate these findings to quantitative MRI outcomes. These links may ease the process of the central nervous system (CNS) disease severity assessment in the clinical setting.
