Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked inherited disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), which results in the lysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) such as dermatan and heparan sulfate. Here, we report the generation of IDS knockout mice, a model of human MPS II, and an analysis of the resulting phenotype. We also evaluated the effect...
