The ICD-10 code for Other mucopolysaccharidoses is E76.29.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E76.29 – Other mucopolysaccharidoses

What it is

E76.29 identifies mucopolysaccharidosis types that do not fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Use it for a documented inherited lysosomal storage disorder involving abnormal glycosaminoglycan breakdown.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings in mucopolysaccharidoses may include coarse facial features, skeletal abnormalities, developmental delay, organ enlargement, or corneal clouding.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents “other mucopolysaccharidosis,” an unspecified subtype, or a named type not separately indexed in ICD-10-CM. It also applies when the record confirms mucopolysaccharidosis but does not identify a more specific category. Check documentation for the exact type before coding.

Do not use for

Do not use E76.29 when the record supports a specific mucopolysaccharidosis code, such as a named subtype with its own entry. Do not assign it for unrelated storage disorders or for suspected disease without confirmation.

Coding tip

Look for the exact subtype in the assessment, genetics note, or problem list before defaulting to E76.29.
