The lysosomal storage disorder, mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I), is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase, which is involved in the breakdown of dermatan and heparan sulphates. There are three clinical phenotypes, ranging from the Hurler form characterised by skeletal abnormalities, hepatosplenomegaly and severe mental retardation, to the milder Scheie phenotype where there is aortic valve disease, corneal clouding, limited skeletal problems, but no mental retardation. In this study, 85 MPS I families (73 Hurler, 5 Hurler/Scheie, 7 Scheie) were screened for 9 known mutations (Q70X, A75T, 474-2a>g, L218P, A327P, W402X, P533R, R89Q, 678-7g>a). W402X was the most frequent mutation in our population (45.3%) and Q70X was the second most frequent (15.9%). In 30 families, either one or both of the mutations were not identified, which accounted for 25.9% of the total alleles. Therefore, all 14 exons of the alpha-L-iduronidase gene were screened in these patients and 23 different sequence changes were found, 17 of which were previously unknown. The novel sequence changes include 4 deletions (153delC, 628del5, 740delC, 747delG), 5 nonsense mutations (Q60X, Y167X, Q400X, R619X, R628X), 6 missense mutations (C205Y, G208V, H240R, A319V, P496R, S633L), a splice site mutation (IVS12+5g>a), and a rare polymorphism (A591T). The polymorphism and novel missense mutations were transiently expressed in COS-7 cells and all of them except the polymorphism showed complete loss of enzyme activity. In total, 165 of the 170 mutant alleles were identified in this study and despite the high frequency of W402X and Q70X, the identification of many novel mutations unique to individual families further highlights the genetic heterogeneity of MPS I.
