Treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome): a Delphi derived practice resource of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).

Mucopolysaccharidosis, type II (MPS II, MIM 309900) is a severe lysosomal storage disease with multisystem involvement. There is one product approved by the FDA, an enzyme replacement therapy, based on a phase III trial in older, attenuated MPS II individuals. Guidance on treatment of MPS II is lacking, not only in general, but for specific clinical situations. A previous systematic evidence-based review of treatment for MPS II demonstrated insufficient strength in all data analyzed to create a definitive practice guideline based solely on published evidence. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Therapeutics Committee conducted a Delphi study to generate an MPS II clinical practice resource of the treatment for these individuals for the genetics community, based on the evidence-based review and subsequent literature. This report describes the process, including consensus development and areas where consensus could not be obtained due to lack of quality evidence. Recommendations from the Delphi process were generated, and areas were highlighted that need further study to help guide clinical care of these individuals.
