Read More About; For the first three weeks of her life, Isabel Bueso seemed blessedly free of disease.

And then, as mom Karla Bueso remembers now, “She began to suffer.”

Isabel has mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome or MPS-6, a rare genetic disease which inhibits the body’s ability to process sugar. Serious symptoms can result, such as dwarfism, enlarged organs, impaired breathing and painful bone abnormalities.

But in those early months after Isabel was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, her parents didn’t know what was wrong, exactly — only that something was. Isabel’s pain proved that. Metabolic disorders such as MPS-6 are difficult to diagnose, however, and MPS-6 doesn’t often make itself known at birth. Only later in childhood do problems usually appear.
