Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis 1 (MPS1) is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder resulting from the absence or reduction of lysosomal alpha-l-iduronidase due to mutations in the IDUA gene. Three major clinical manifestations have been established including Hurler's or severe type (OMIM 607914), Hurler–Scheie or intermediate type (MIM 607914) and Scheie's or attenuated type (MIM 607016). In the present study, a patient whose disease was diagnosed by biochemical and enzymatic assay was studied in our laboratory. Molecular analysis implemented by PCR-sequencing of all 14 exons and exon–intron junctions confirmed a novel deleterious mutation in a homozygous state. The result of this study has broadened the genotypic spectrum of MPS1 patients, assisting in a more effective approach for carrier testing and counseling.
