Eight unrelated patients with Hunter syndrome were investigated for expression of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) mRNA by reverse transcription (RT) linked to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or RT-PCR. The entire coding region was studied by amplification of two overlapping segments of 0.7 and 1.1 kb.

A number of mutations in the X-chromosomal human iduronate-2-sulphatase gene have now been identified as the primary genetic defect leading to the clinical condition known as Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type 11. The mutations that are tabulated include different deletions, splice-site a
Two patients with a complete deletion of the iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS) gene are described. In both patients, the resulting phenotype was that of very severe Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II). In addition, both had features not commonly seen in this disorder, e.g. early onset of seizures
