| Remarks |
Clinically affected; bilateral corneal clouding; 3cm liver; prominent eyes, forehead, and tongue; widely-spaced peg-like teeth; flat nasal bridge; joint contractures (knees-20 degrees, elbows-10 degrees); lumbar lordosis; externally rotated femurs; slightly stiff and swollen fingers; 5% of normal arylsulfatase B activity, consistent with homozygosity; family history reveals that parents are related through their grandfather; unaffected mother (GM03720-fibro, GM03721-lymph); unaffected father (GM03724-fibro, GM03725-lymph); unaffected sister (GM03726-fibro) and unaffected half-siblings (not in repository); see GM03722-fibroblast (same donor). |
