Abstract

The IDUA gene (MIM 252800) provides instructions for producing alpha-L-iduronidase, which is essential for the breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Mutations in the IDUA gene have been found to cause mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MIM 607014). This leads to the accumulation of GAGs within lysosomes causing different organs to be dysfunctional.
