Abstrakt: A black patient who presented with the clinical features of a mucopolysaccharidosis is described. Biochemical investigations showed that the proband had type II B mucopolysaccharidosis (Hunter's syndrome), and a family study revealed that a further 2 males were affected. This suggested that the inheritance was hemizygous for the X-linked gene and that the mother was the obligate carrier. Documented cases of mucopolysaccharidosis among Blacks are uncommon in the literature.
