a relatively mild allelic variant of Hurler syndrome and the mildest of the three allelic disorders of mucopolysaccharidosis I, characterized by corneal clouding, claw hand, involvement of the aortic valve, somewhat coarse facies with a broad mouth, genu valgum, and pes cavus. Stature, intelligence, and life span are normal; it is caused by a deficiency of L-iduronidase. Called also mucopolysaccharidosis IS; formerly called mucopolysaccharidosis V.
