In order to obtain novel mutations in the recently discovered Wilson disease gene, we screened 5 unrelated German individuals for mutations in the 21 exons and their flanking intronic sequences. We detected 9 mutations affecting the Wilson disease gene. Four of those, designated 802-808delTGTAAGT, 2

## Kan Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Mutation screening in Wilson disease has led to the detection of at least 89 disease-specific mutations. Some mutations appear to be population specific, while others are common to many populations. In this study, 38 Tai
Pseudodeficiency of arylsulfatase A is characterized by reduction of arylsulfatase A activity without neurodegeneration, making it an important complication when diagnosing metachromatic leukodystrophy. Two DNA substitutions are associated with arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency. One, 1788A+G, results
