Question

Of the following, the disease most closely associated with mucopolysaccharidosis is?

1) Alzheimer's disease
2) Parkinson's disease
3) Down syndrome
4) Marfan syndrome

Answer 1

Marfan syndrome is most closely associated with mucopolysaccharidosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mucopolysaccharidosis is most closely associated with Marfan syndrome. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disease that causes abnormal fibrillin, a protein in the body.

Mucopolysaccharidosis refers to a group of metabolic disorders in which the body is unable to properly break down certain mucopolysaccharides.

While Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are neurodegenerative diseases that have their own distinct causes and symptoms, they are not closely associated with mucopolysaccharidosis.
