Genotype-phenotype relationships in mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I): Insights from the International MPS I Registry.

ABSTRACT: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from pathogenic variants in the α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene. Clinical phenotypes range from severe (Hurler syndrome) to attenuated (Hurler-Scheie and Scheie syndromes) and vary in age of onset, severity, and rate of progression. Defining the phenotype at diagnosis is essential for disease management. To date, no systematic analysis of genotype-phenotype correlation in large MPS I cohorts have been performed. Understanding genotype-phenotype is critical now that newborn screening for MPS I is being implemented. Data from 538 patients from the MPS I Registry (380 severe, 158 attenuated) who had 2 IDUA alleles identified were examined. In the 1076 alleles identified, 148 pathogenic variants were reported; of
