Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) or Hunter syndrome is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). A convenient single-step fluorometric microplate enzyme assay has been developed and validated for clinical diagnosis of MPS II using dried blood spots (DBS). The assay compared well with a recently reported digital microfluidic method, from which it was adapted. Results show that this DBS assay is robust and reproducible using both technologies.
