Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hunter syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) deficiency, leading to the accumulation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. This study aimed to investigate the molecular defects underlying MPS II in tP2ee unrelated Tunisian patients. METHODS: The IDS gene was analyzed by direct DNA...
