✦ Synopsis


Hunter syndrome is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). The IDS deficiency can be caused by several different types of mutations in the IDS gene. We have performed a molecular and mutation analysis of a total of 19 unrelated MPS II patients of different ethnic origin and identified 19 different IDS mutations, 9 of which were novel and unique. SSCP analysis followed by DNA sequencing revealed four novel missense mutations: S143F, associated with the 562C→T polymorphism, C184W, D269V and Y348H. Two novel nonsense mutations were found: Y103X (433C→A) and Y234X (826C→G). In two patients two novel minor insertions (421insA and 499insA) were identified. In one patient a complete IDS deletion was found, extending from locus DXS1185 to locus DXS466.
