Is corneal clouding one of the signs of Hunter's syndrome? I was under the impression that its not seen in Hunters. However in question #3 in the genetics section of Robbins qbook corneal clouding is presented as one of the signs. And in the explanations, its diagnosed as Hunters. Thanks.

A hunter still needs his eyes to hunt...

Its a misprint since the answer is alpha-L-iduronidase which is the abnormality in Hurler's, Hunter's is iduronate sulfatase...

I hope that answer isn't a misprint either then. I did find an excerpt in Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus which states that corneal clouding is variable among a milder form of Hunter's.

Oh well. I probably can't go wrong with the consensus. Thanks guys.
