Identification of iduronate sulfatase gene alterations in 70 unrelated Hunter patients

Abstract: We studied 70 unrelated Hunter patients and found a gene alteration in every patient. The molecular heterogeneity was very important. Large gene rearrangements were identified in 14 patients. Forty‐three different mutations were identified in the 56 other patients and 31 were not previously described. Deletions and insertions, splice site mutations were associated with a severe phenotype as nonsense mutations except Q531X. Only a few mutations were present in several patients making difficult genotype‐phenotyp… Show more

“…Con relación a la variabilidad fenotípica de la enfermedad de Hunter, es claro que ésta es reflejo de la heterogeneidad mutacional de la IDSh (11). Sin embargo, los niveles de actividad enzimática no se correlacionan con la variabilidad fenotípica, ya que las pruebas de detección no son lo suficientemente sensibles.…”

“…Mucopolysaccharidosis II (Hunter syndrome) may result from large (20-30 kb) dele ons or inversions of the IDS locus on Xq28. This is believed to result from non-allelic homologous recombina on between the func onal gene copy and a pseudogene, occurring predominantly during male meiosis [1561]. Duplica ons including the MECP2 gene (Xq28), supposedly generated by the FoSTeS mechanism, are some mes seen in male pa ents with a specific phenotype, characterised by neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability and seizures (MECP2 duplica on syndrome) [1562,1563].…”
