Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the arylsulfatase A ( ARSA) gene. We have investigated more than fifty MLD patients using allele-specific PCR assays to detect the pseudodeficiency (PD) allele and several common MLD mutations, followed
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase A (ASA), is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, and its frequency is estimated to be 1 in 40,000 live births. Genomic DNA from 21 MLD patients (14 late-infantile and 7 juvenile cases) was
Arylsulfatase A (ARSA) deficiency is the main cause of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a lysosomal disorder with no specific treatment. In view of the importance of genetic counseling, analyses of mutations and polymorphisms, including the ARSA pseudodeficiency allele, were carried out in 18 unr
