A member asked:
Can you tell me is hurler's syndrome nondisjunction, a sex-linked disorder or a type of mutation in a specific chromosome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recessive disorder: Hurler syndrome is caused by a mutation in idua gene located in chromosome #4. It is an autosomal recessive condition which means that one has both copies of the gene changed, the one inherited from father, and the one from mother. Parents are thus carriers of the condition.
