Mental health perspectives of Hunter syndrome: Case reports of two biological siblings
Hunter syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulphatase, leading to progressive accumulation of a substance called glycosaminoglycans in nearly all cell types, tissues, and organs.

In silico profiling of non-synonymous SNPs in IDS gene for early diagnosis of Hunter syndrome
Background Single amino acid substitutions in the Iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme result in destabilization of the protein and cause a genetic disorder called Hunter syndrome.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) in a boy from the Republic of Serbia: A case report [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II or Hunter syndrome is a hereditary, progressive disease that occurs due to the deposition of acidic glucosaminoglycans in lysosomes, due to hereditary deficits of specific degradation enzymes.

Insights into Hunter syndrome from the structure of iduronate-2-sulfatase
Hunter syndrome is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). Here, the authors present the IDS crystal structure and give mechanistic insights into mutations that cause Hunter syndrome.

Anterior Hypopituitarism and Treatment Response in Hunter Syndrome: A Comparison of Two Patients
Hypopituitarism is a clinically important diagnosis and has not previously been reported in Hunter syndrome. We contrast two cases with anatomic pituitary anomalies: one with anterior panhypopituitarism and the other with intact pituitary function ...
