Morquio syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis IV (MPS IV), is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the body. One of the major skeletal manifestations of this syndrome is the development of vertebrae that are oval in shape with a centrally-located beak-like anterior appearance, which is known as the "beaked" vertebrae deformity. This is not a typical feature of Hunter, San Filippo, or Hurler syndromes.
