Welcome to the 'Hunter syndrome Info' podcast series.
Hunter syndrome, also known as MPS II, is a rare, multisystemic genetic disorder. You could be one of the first physicians to suspect this progressive and life-limiting disease. Listen to interviews with leading experts who share insights on the symptoms, diagnosis, management and prognosis for people living with the condition.
Each patient has a unique presentation, so it is important to consider the whole patient, including clues outside your area of expertise, in order to help achieve early diagnosis.
Visit Huntersyndrome.info for more information and join the rare disease community at Rare2aware.com.
This podcast series was initiated and funded by Shire and is intended for an international healthcare professional audience.
