Abstract excerpt
Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidoses type II (MPS-II), is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the activity of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS). We have investigated the occurrence of rearrangements and deletions of the IDS gene in a Southern analysis of 46 unrelated MPS-II patients of different ethnic origins using a cDNA clone containing the entire IDS gene as a probe. Structural...
