You cannot catch Sanfilippo Syndrome.

Sanfilippo Syndrome is not a contagious disorder. Sanfilippo is spread genetically, passed down by both mom and dad. While spontaneous mutation is a possibility, it is the least likely cause of a child being born with the disorder.

No. It is a genetic disorder. Either you are born with it or not. You can be a carrier of the gene passing the possibility of being a carrier to your child. If you are bit born with the defective gene you can not catch it.
