Code Classification

  • Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
    (E00–E89)
    • Metabolic disorders
      (E70-E88)
      • Disorders of glycosaminoglycan metabolism
        (E76)

E76.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis, unspecified. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like E76.3 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Hunter Syndrome|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II

    an x-linked, inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme iduronate sulfatase that is responsible for the degradation of mucopolysaccharides. it nearly always affects males and is characterized by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in various organs, resulting in mental dysfunction, enlarged abdomen, hearing loss, obstructive airway disease, heart disease, and hepatosplenomegaly.
  • Hurler Syndrome|MPS I H|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IH

    an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of mucopolysaccharide metabolism. it is the most severe form of mucopolysaccharidosis type i. it is characterized by deficiency of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase resulting in the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the tissues.
  • IDUA wt Allele|Alpha-L-Iduronidase wt Allele|IDA|Iduronidase Alpha-L- Gene|Iduronidase, Alpha-L Gene|Iduronidase, Alpha-L- Gene|MPS1|MPSI|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Gene

    human idua wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4p16.3 and is approximately 18 kb in length. this allele, which encodes alpha-l-iduronidase protein, is involved in the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans. mutation of the gene is associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 1.
  • Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VI|Mucopolysaccharidosis VI

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme n-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase. it is characterized by organomegaly, short stature, joint stiffness, otitis media, and respiratory illnesses.
  • Morquio Syndrome|Mucopolysaccharidosis IV|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IV

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by abnormal skeletal developments, dwarfism, heart disorders, and central nervous system deficits.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis

    a group of autosomal recessive or x-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorders affecting the metabolism of mucopolysaccharides, resulting in the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the body. signs and symptoms include organomegaly, intellectual disabilities, abnormal skeletal development, heart disorders, hearing loss, and central nervous system deficiencies.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I|MPS I|Mucopolysaccharidosis I

    the most common type of mucopolysaccharidosis. it is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. it comprises a group of lysosomal storage diseases which includes the most severe form (hurler syndrome) and the mildest form (scheie syndrome).
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA|MPS III A|Sanfilippo A

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme heparan sulfate sulfatase. it is characterized by behavioral changes, sleep disturbances, mental developmental delays and seizures.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB|MPS III B|Sanfilippo B

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme n-acetyl-alpha-d-glucosaminidase. it is characterized by behavioral changes, sleep disturbances, and mental developmental delays.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIC|MPS III C|Sanfilippo C

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme acetyl-coa:alpha-glucosaminide acetyltransferase. it is characterized by behavioral changes, sleep disturbances, and mental developmental delays.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIID|MPS III D|Sanfilippo D

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme n-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase. it is characterized by behavioral changes, sleep disturbances and mental developmental delays.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA|MPS IV A

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme galactosamine-6-sulfatase. it is characterized by skeletal and central nervous system deficits.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVB|MPS IV B

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme beta galactosidase. it is characterized by skeletal dysplasia and short stature.
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IX|Hyaluronidase Deficiency|MPS9

    an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutation(s) in the hyal1 gene, encoding hyaluronidase-1. it is characterized by short stature and hyaluronidase deficiency.
  • Sanfilippo Syndrome|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease affecting the metabolism of mucopolysaccharides. signs and symptoms include behavioral changes, sleep disorders, mental developmental delays, and seizures.
  • Sly Syndrome|Beta-Glucuronidase Deficiency|Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII

    a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase. it is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal deformities, enlarged head, and mental retardation.

Patient Education


Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorders

Metabolism is the process your body uses to make energy from the food you eat. Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Chemicals in your digestive system (enzymes) break the food parts down into sugars and acids, your body's fuel. Your body can use this fuel right away, or it can store the energy in your body tissues. If you have a metabolic disorder, something goes wrong with this process.

Carbohydrate metabolism disorders are a group of metabolic disorders. Normally your enzymes break carbohydrates down into glucose (a type of sugar). If you have one of these disorders, you may not have enough enzymes to break down the carbohydrates. Or the enzymes may not work properly. This causes a harmful amount of sugar to build up in your body. That can lead to health problems, some of which can be serious. Some of the disorders are fatal.

These disorders are inherited. Newborn babies get screened for many of them, using blood tests. If there is a family history of one of these disorders, parents can get genetic testing to see whether they carry the gene. Other genetic tests can tell whether the fetus has the disorder or carries the gene for the disorder.

Treatments may include special diets, supplements, and medicines. Some babies may also need additional treatments, if there are complications. For some disorders, there is no cure, but treatments may help with symptoms.
