چکیده
BACKGROUND/AIM This study aimed to identify IDUA gene mutations in Turkish patients morphologically (phenotypic) diagnosed with MPS type I. It also sought to discuss the possible effects of detected mutations on alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme function based on current knowledge. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genetic analysis was carried out in 15 patients using direct DNA sequencing. Moreover, segregation analysis was performed among family members to predict the pathogenic effect of novel mutations, and computational programs were used to predict their functional impact. RESULTS Nine different mutations (c.494-1G>A, c.793-6C>G, c.793-5C>A, p.M1L, p.Y64X, p.A327P, p.W402X, p.P533L, and p.R628X) were identified. Computational analysis results supported the pathogenicity of novel mutations, suggesting improper splicing. Seven already-known polymorphisms were detected in the screened cohort as well. CONCLUSION Our results revealed heterogeneity in the mutation spectrum of Turkish patients. Six of the mutations, including the novel ones, have never before been reported in the Turkish population. Moreover, 5 patients who were phenotypically diagnosed with MPS type I could not be confirmed by genetic analysis, indicating the importance of the molecular characterization of MPS subtypes.

Introduction: Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS-I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage diseases, caused by α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) enzyme deficiency. The clinical manifestations of MPS-I patients are variable ranging from severe to mild, and therefore prediction of disease severity is difficult. From when IDUA gene has been cloned more than 109 distinct mutations have been identified in it an...

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...

BACKGROUND Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal storage disease resulting from defective activity of the enzyme α-L-iduronidase (IDUA). This glycosidase is involved in the degradation of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. MPS I has severe and milder phenotypic subtypes. AIM OF STUDY This study was carried out on six newly collected MPS I patients recruited from many regions...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPSI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme α-l-iduronidase (IDUA), which is instrumental in the hydrolysis of the glycosaminoglycans, dermatan and heparan sulfate. The accumulation of unhydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans leads to pathogenesis in multiple tissue types, especially those of skeletal, nervous, ...

UNLABELLED Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a genetic defect in alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) which is involved in the degradation of dermatan and heparan sulfates. The disease has severe and milder phenotypic subtypes. The aim of this study was the detection of mutations in the IDUA gene from 12 additional MPS I patients with vari...
