Comment on “report of 5 novel mutations of the α-L-iduronidase gene and comparison of Korean mutations in relation with those of Japan or China in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis I”
In this comment, we highlight that the IDUA pathogenic variants 704ins5 and c.613_617dupTGCTC are the same, but have different names depending on the nomenclature guideline used. Therefore, the frequency of this variant is 17.6% of alleles in Korean patients. This commentary stresses the importance of proper variant annotation and the use of guidelines when describing or reviewing mutations.
