Abstract:
Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem lysosomal storage disorder. It is caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in IDUA, encoding alpha-l iduronidase. Here, we describe an individual affected by MPS I due to a paternally inherited deletion of IDUA exons 1 and 2, c.(?_-88)_(299+1_300-1)del and a whole-gene deletion of IDUA (?_-88?)_(*136?)del secondary to maternal somatic mosaicism. We define a previously unreported mutational mechanism for this disorder.
