Identification of 17 novel mutations in 40 Argentinean unrelated families with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPSII) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). The human IDS gene is located in chromosome Xq28. This is the first report of genotype and phenotype characterization of 49 Hunter patients from 40 families of Argentina. Thirty different alleles have been identified, and 57% were novel. The frequency of de novo mutations was 10%. Overall, the percentage of private mutations in our series was 75%.

Mutational analysis of ARSB gene in mucopolysaccharidosis type VI: identification of three novel mutations in Iranian patients
Objective(s): Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome is a rare metabolic disorder, resulting from the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB). The enzymatic defect of ARSB leads to progressive lysosomal storage disorder and accumulation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) dermatan sulfate (DS), which causes harmful effects on various organs and tissues an...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Arylsulfatase B Gene Mutation in Three Unrelated Iranian Mucopolysaccharidosis Type-VI Patients with Different Phenotype Severity
Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type-VI (MPS-VI), which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, results from the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) activity and the lysosomal accumulation of dermatan sulfate. In this study, ARSB mutation analysis was performed on three unrelated patients who were originally from the West Azerbaijan province of Iran. Method...

OBJECTIVES Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) enables the identification of affected embryos prior to implantation. We present for the first time three families in which either the oocytes or embryos obtained from female carriers of mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene underwent PGD for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome). Furthermore, we report the first ever deri...
متن کاملMolecular basis of iduronate-2-sulphatase gene mutations in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome).
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) is an X linked lysosomal storage disorder resulting from heterogeneous mutations in the iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS) gene. To detect IDS gene mutations, direct sequencing of IDS cDNA fragments coupled with assays on IDS genomic amplicons was applied to 18 unrelated patients with MPS II. Seventeen mutations were detected from the 18 patients includ...

Aims Morquio syndrome is a mucopolysaccharidosis (type 4) that has autosomal recessive inheritance. Moreover, it is caused by defects in the two genes; GALNS (Murcio A) and GLB1 (Murcio B). The prevalence rate of this condition is estimated to be about 1 per 200000 live births globally. Besides, Middle Eastern cases shape the greatest ratio, due to higher rates of consanguineous marriages. The ...
