Gaucher's disease (GD) is caused by an inherited deficiency of acid -glucosidase with storage of glucosylceramides in the lysosomes of macrophages. This study identifies a G202R mutation in the acid -glucosidase gene in an infant with severe neuronopathic (type 2) GD and only slightly reduced acid -
Grade of membership analysis (GoM) may have particular relevance for genetic epidemiology. The method can flexibly relate genetic markers, clinical features, and environmental exposures to possible subtypes of disease termed pure types even when population allele frequencies and penetrance functions
Three dominantly inherited "pure" form of familial spastic paraplegia (FSP) genes have been genetically mapped to regions of chromosomes, yet no specific genes or mutations have been identified (FSPI ; chromosome 14q, FSP2; chromosome 2p and FSP3; chromosome 15q). We studied a "pure" form of autosom
