Mucopolysaccharidosis type I: identification of 8 novel mutations and determination of the frequency of the two common α-L-iduronidase mutations (W402X and Q70X) among European patients

TL;DR: A group of 46 European patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I was screened for mutations of the alpha-L-iduronidase gene and the 2 common nonsense mutations, W402X and Q70X, were identified in 37% and 35% of mutant alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

LETM1, a gene deleted in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, encodes an evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial protein.

TL;DR: Information about a possible function for LETM1 is presented and it is suggested that at least some (neuromuscular) features of WHS may be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 31 novel mutations in the N‐acetylgalactosamine‐6‐sulfatase gene reveals excessive allelic heterogeneity among patients with Morquio A syndrome

TL;DR: Mutation analysis of the N‐acetylgalactosamine‐6‐sulfate sulfatase gene was performed in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA from 33 families, mainly of European origin, and found the vast majority of the gene alterations proved to be point mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iduronate-2-sulfatase gene mutations in 16 patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome).

TL;DR: Mutations of the iduronate-2-sulfatase gene were identified in 16 patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) and molecular analysis of mRNA in splice site mutants showed that these latter defects frequently resulted in use of cryptic splice sites in exons or introns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 16 sulfamidase gene mutations including the common R74C in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (Sanfilippo A).

TL;DR: Screening for the combined frequency of the common mutations R74C and R245H in German and Polish populations exceeds 55%, screening for these two mutations will assist molecular genetic diagnosis of MPS IIIA and allow heterozygote testing in these populations.
