Abstract
An 8-year-old boy with Hurler-like traits including severe mental retardation excreted in his urine a pathognomonic amount of dermatan sulfate. Less than 10% residual activity of arylsulfatase B was found in his leucocytes and fibroblasts. Hurler fibroblasts corrected an abnormally high 35SO4-incorporation into acid mucopolysaccharides (MPS) in cultured fibroblasts, whereas Maroteaux-Lamy fibroblasts did not. The patient thus has a rare combination of Maroteaux-Lamy and severe mental retardation.Entities:
