✦ Synopsis


On DEAE cellulose column chromatography, alpha-L-iduronidase in cultured skin fibroblasts was resolved into two distinct components, forms A and B. They had similar Km values for 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-L-iduronide, but differed in pH optima and thermal stability. Form B was more heat-stable than form A. Residual alpha-L-iduronidase activity in Hurler fibroblasts was heat-stable, while that in Scheie fibroblasts was heat-labile, and moreover, that in Hurler-Scheie compound fibroblasts lay intermediate between Hurler and Scheie syndromes. These findings demonstrated that Hurler syndrome, Scheie syndrome and Hurler-Scheie compound were enzymatically distinguishable.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA). Mutations in the gene are responsible for the enzyme deficiency, which leads to the intralysosomal storage of the partially degraded glycosaminoglycans derm

## Abstract ## Background Systemic __in vivo__ gene therapy has resulted in widespread correction in animal models when treated at birth. However, limited improvement was observed in postnatally treated animals with mainly targeting to the liver and bone marrow. It has been shown that an O^6^‐meth
