ABSTRACT
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPSI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused bymutations in alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene. IDUA contributes to the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate. Deficient activity of IDUA generates accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in lysosomes leading to MPS I. Here, we identified twoboys with MPS I caused by a compound heterozygote of a reported c.265C > T (p.R89W) missense mutation in exon 2 and a novel c.1633G > T (p.E545*, 109) nonsense mutation in exon 11 of IDUA gene in a Chinese family. R89 is close to the active site and its replacement will affect the structure and function of IDUA. Besides, termination from E545 deletes one of the prominent domainsand alters the spatial structure of IDUA. In conclusion, our study demonstrates a previously unrecognized mutation in IDUA gene and this report adds to the mutational spectrum observed.
