Does  anyone know  what Hurlers Syndrome is?
606745
Hurler syndrome (MPS1) is an inherited and progressive disorder that results from the body's inability to make lysosomal alpha-L-iduronate, an enzyme that helps breakdown mucopolysaccharides. Mucopolysaccharides are made of a Jello-like material and are found throughout the body, often in mucus secretions and in fluids surrounding the joints.\n\nThe enzyme deficiency found in Hurler syndrome causes mucopolysaccharides to build up in the body.  The result is a multisystem disorder with symptoms that range from mild to severe. The disease damages many organs, including the heart.\n\nIn the past, MPS1 was called Hurler syndrome, Hurler-Scheie syndrome, or Scheie syndrome. Because there is no clear distinction between the groups, a classification based on disease severity has been suggested:\n\n    * Hurler as severe MPS1\n    * Hurler-Scheie as intermediate MPS1\n    * Scheie as mild MPS1\n\nHurler syndrome is inherited as an autosommal recessive trait. Approximately 1 in 115,000 individuals are affected.\n\nSymptoms    Return to top\n\nThe symptoms of intermediate MPS1 usually develop between 3 and 8 years of age. Survival into adult life is common.\n\nInfants with severe MPS1 appear normal at birth. Coarsening of facial features is noted during the first two years of life. Symptoms are progressive and include:\n\n    * Halted growth\n    * Progressive  mental retardation\n    * Thick, coarse facial features with low nasal bridge\n    * Cloudy corneas\n    * Deafness\n    * Joint disease, including stiffness\n    * Heart value problems\n    * Abnormal bones of spine and claw hand\n\nSigns and tests    Return to top

I don't have it, but I do know that when it is a familial disorder, it virtually always passes from mother to children, as it is a mitochondrial disorder, and all cellular organelles come from the mother's egg (the sperm basically supply just the DNA).  It can occur sporadically.  It is a A3243G mutation in the mitochondrial genetic code.  A good resource for the "technical" information.  http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1406.htm

All i could find was this written in 2002:\n\n\nAlas, Houston sports information director Rick Poulter told me nobody there has heard from Benny since the early 1990s, when he was playing in South America. Then I called the only "Anders" listed in Bernice, La. (his hometown), and spoke with Benny's grandma. What the sweet old lady said broke my heart. "I haven't heard from Benny in three months," she explained. "If you find him, tell him I'd love to hear from him." \n\nJournalistic obligations aside, I couldn't bear to ask Benny's grandma any more questions about what he's been up to. So, Benny, if you're reading this: Give your grandma a call. She's worried about you.

go to a bookstore online or in person, get a book called "Nolan Ryans Pitchers' Bible". :) Read it religiously ;) a fantastic book written by the most unhittable pitcher in baseball history. he talks all about his training regimends.

Yes, I see no problem at all with it as long as loud noise and large crowds do not bother him.  I frequently go to Turner Field in Atlanta and there is always a guy there that is developmentally disabled, his mother works there as an usher and he is at every game.  He cannot speak understandable words but yells and really gets into the games and because he is there all of the time most people are really nice to him.  He is always at batting practice etc and even the players will acknowledge him and be really nice to him and he always has a great time.

It is a rare congenital condition called Hypertrichosis. It is the condition that afflicts the "wolf boys" that were in the news a few years ago.

It's actually a genetic syndrome.  There are certain phyical features associated with it (increased hairiness, short neck and stature are the ones I can think of without looking).  Check out WebMD (www.webmd.com) for more answers, and definitely talk to your doctor.  I know someone who was undiagnosed until she had a seizure.

If you've tried all the things you have then i'm at a loss what to suggest except for writing a letter or sending an email to the FA at Sloan Square in London. Sorry but I don't know the full address or email address but you could google that and hopefully find out.

This is getting hysterical, Sports Fan 123 asks questions like "How is boxing scored?", "Can Someone Explain To Me How Proffesional Boxing Works?", or "Is there a 'Regular Season' in boxing?". But he knows enough now to tell you this fight is "Awesome!" Later today he'll be giving a conference on Molecular Instability. Because it's "Awesome!" (ps Fan 123 there's only one "f" in Professional, maybe you should become a "fan" of Webster's Dictionary).
