Abstract

We have performed molecular and mutation analyses on 14 unrelated Israeli Hunter families and have identified the IDS mutation in 8 of them. Three unrelated Ashkenazi patients had the same previously reported mutation (1246 C→T). Based on the haplotypes of the mutation‐bearing chromosomes, we concluded that this is a recurrent mutation. In two patients, we identified a deletion spanning exons V–VII. Three novel mutations were observed in different patients: L410P, 717del4, and 244del3. In addition, the silent mutation (562 C→T) was observed in one patient. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
