Abstract excerpt
We are currently characterizing mutations of the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene in patients with Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II). Surprisingly, all 17 patients with a mutation in exon III of the IDS gene identified by us were found to carry both the mutant and wild-type sequences in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified from genomic DNA. Similarly, two unaffected male controls...
