Two families with five patients affected with fucosidosis are described. Within each family, both type I and type II fucosidosis are present. This suggests that environmental factors or "modifying genes" different from the fucosidase structural gene contribute to the phenotype of a fucosidosis patient.
本文描述了两个患有岩藻糖苷贮积症的家庭,共有五名患者。在每个家庭中,I型和II型岩藻糖苷贮积症都有出现。这表明,与岩藻糖苷酶结构基因不同的环境因素或“修饰基因”会影响岩藻糖苷贮积症患者的表型。
