What type of intellectual disability is Hunter Syndrome associated with?

Hunter Syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type II, is a genetic disorder that results in a deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase, leading to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the body. This accumulation can cause a variety of symptoms, including physical, developmental, and intellectual challenges.

The correct answer highlights that Hunter Syndrome is associated with progressive intellectual disabilities. This reflects that individuals with the condition may experience a decline in cognitive functioning and other abilities over time as the disorder progresses. The impact on intellectual functioning may become more pronounced as the individual ages, making the classification as "progressive" accurate.

In contrast, other terms such as transient, acute, or fixed intellectual disabilities do not appropriately describe the nature of the cognitive impairments associated with Hunter Syndrome. Transient implies a temporary condition, acute suggests a sudden onset without ongoing progression, and fixed would indicate a stable and unchanging state, none of which accurately capture the ongoing and worsening nature of intellectual disabilities in individuals with Hunter Syndrome.
