Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. A novel gross deletion in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene was found in a 6-year-old boy with Hunter syndrome. The phenotype of the patient was severe, including joint stiffness, kyphosis, hepatomegaly, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, moderate mental retardation, and bilateral hearing loss. The 38.8 kb gross deletion involves exons 1-7, the proximal breakpoints lying in intron 7, at position 1307880 (GenBank NT:019686), and the distal deletion breakpoint was located at position 1346697. The large deletion correlated with the severe phenotype of this Hunter syndrome patient.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007066	Iduronate Sulfatase	An enzyme that specifically cleaves the ester sulfate of iduronic acid. Its deficiency has been demonstrated in Hunter's syndrome, which is characterized by an excess of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. EC 3.1.6.13.

D016532	Mucopolysaccharidosis II	Systemic lysosomal storage disease marked by progressive physical deterioration and caused by a deficiency of L-sulfoiduronate sulfatase. This disease differs from MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS I by slower progression, lack of corneal clouding, and X-linked rather than autosomal recessive inheritance. The mild form produces near-normal intelligence and life span. The severe form usually causes death by age 15.
