Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) results in Hunter syndrome, an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder. In this study, analysis of a patient with features of moderate to severe Hunter syndrome identified a 178-bp deletion upstream of IDS exon 1 spanning a predicted promoter element. Sequencing of all nine IDS exons from this patient failed to identify any additional mutations within the...
