Ultrasound Findings of Finger, Wrist and Knee Joints in Mucopolysaccharidosis
- Conditions
- MPS IMPS IV
- Registration Number
- NCT02067650
- Lead Sponsor
- Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario
- Brief Summary
Hardly any imaging studies specifically addressing the articular and periarticular structures in MPS patients are available at this point. The investigators propose to do for the first time a pilot study using musculoskeletal ultrasound in patients with various types of MPS.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Power Doppler one time exam The primary objective is to determine whether patients with various types of MPS and at various stages of the disease exhibit abnormalities of the finger, wrist and knee joints as assessed by grey scale and Power Doppler ultrasonography.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Ultrasound scanning technique one time scan To determine the optimal ultrasound scanning technique for MPS patients given the potentially advanced joint contractures
Findings of synovitis or tenosynovitis one time scan To determine whether there are ultrasound findings indicative of synovitis or tenosynovitis
Differences between MPS I and IV one time scan To determine whether differences exist between MPS I and MPS IV
Differences between ERT and BMT one time scan To determine whether differences exist between patients with or without Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) or Bone Marrow Transplants
Differences between severe and attenuated phenotypes one time scan To determine whether differences exist between severe and attenuated phenotypes
