✦ Synopsis
Communicated by Jurgen Horsr Genomic DNA and cDNA from fibroblasts from nine unrelated German patients with X-linked iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) deficiency showing variable clinical manifestation were screened for point mutations and small structural aberrations. Direct sequencing revealed a splice mutation skipping exon A, one nonsense mutation, and five missense mutations concerning the exons B, F and I of the IDS gene. Several novel missense mutations were found: A68E, S426X, I485R, Q293H, and D478G. One of the point mutations eliminating a recognition site for the restriction enzyme MspI was used as a direct marker for a prenatal diagnosis. A relationship between type of mutation and clinical picture could not be recognized. Q 1994 WiIey-Liss, I=.

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 unrelat
Hunter syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis type II, MPS2) is an X-linked recessively inherited disease caused by a deficiency of iduronate 2 sulfatase (IDS). In this study, we investigated mutations of the IDS gene in 25 Korean Hunter syndrome patients. We identified 20 mutations, of which 13 mutations
Hunter syndrome is a rare, X-linked, recessively inherited disease affecting approximately 1 in 132,000 males. The disease is caused by the inability to degrade dermatan sulphate and heparan sulphate due to mutations in the iduronate-2-sulphatase gene (IDS). The mutations causing the disorder are he
