Comparison showing CS-normalized vs. creatinine-normalized methods to determine the quantities of DS, HS, and KS in the patients with different types of MPS. By using the CS-normalized method, the quantities of affected GAGs found in the patients with different types of MPS were more consistent and more noticeable than those calculated using the creatinine-normalized method. Both DS and HS were elevated in the patients with MPS I and MPS II; only HS, KS, or DS were increased in the patients with MPS IIIB, IVA, and VI, respectively.
