✦ Synopsis
Two polymorphisms were detected within exon I of the alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene both of which create restriction endonuclease sites and one of which changes an amino acid. The polymorphisms may be detected by digesting the same 245-bp polymerase chain reaction product. The polymorphisms can be used diagnostically in families with IDUA deficiency (mucopolysaccharidosis type I) and Huntington disease, which is closely linked to the IDUA locus.

ot-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which when deficient causes mucopolysaccharidosis type I, is located near the Huntington disease locus (HD) on human Chromosome (Chr) 4p16.3, approximately 10 6 base pairs (bp) from the telomere. As part of our continuing efforts to define a detailed comparative map for this
