Abstract excerpt
Hunter disease or mucopolysaccharidosis type II is an X-linked disease caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). The IDS gene (24 kb) contains nine exons and has been completely sequenced. A pseudogene (IDS-2 locus) distal to the functional IDS gene has recentl...
