How is Hunter syndrome diagnosed?
Hunter syndrome can be challenging to diagnose, because of the number of signs and symptoms, many of which overlap with common childhood complaints. This, combined with the rarity of the condition, means that for many children, particularly those with the non-neuronopathic type of Hunter syndrome, it can take years to reach a diagnosis.
The progressive nature of the condition means that early diagnosis is essential, so that disease management can begin as soon as possible.
