Abstract excerpt
Southern blot analysis of the iduronate sulfatase (IDS) gene in 52 unrelated Japanese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II was carried out using a cDNA probe, and mutations in 13 patients (25%) were identified. Of these, 3 had partial gene deletions (in 2 the normal 9.4-kb fragment was absent and in 1 the normal 7.4-kb fragment was absent, as determined by Southern blot analysis using EcoRI-digested DNA,...
