Abstract excerpt
We investigated mutations of the iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) gene and structural characteristics of I2S to clarify genotype/phenotype relationships in 18 Japanese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II. The I2S gene was analyzed in five patients with a severe phenotype and in 13 patients with an attenuated phenotype. The tertiary structural model of the human I2S was constructed by homology modeling using...
