Hello dear!
Hurler disease is a type 1 of MPS(mucopolysaccharidosis type 1) in which the affected child has corneal clouding ,coarse facies,developmental delay and mental retardation.
Bone marrow transplant along with some specific surgeries done at various ages to prevent complications are the treatment of choice .But unfortunately they will not lead a normal life.But yes we can improve the quality of life with physiotherapy,surgery and supportive management.
I hope it will help.
I'll pray for the ease of your sister.May God bless all of you :-)
