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
Mutations in the gene encoding for the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA) result in Gaucher disease. In this study, seven novel missense mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (A136E, H162P, K198E, Y205C, F251L, Q350X and I402F) and a splice site mutation (IVS10+2TβA) were identified by dir
Communicated by William S. Sly Gaucher disease is the most prevalent sphingolipidosis, characterized by genetic deficiency of lysosomal hydrolase glucocerebrosidase, and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. To characterize the molecular basis of Gaucher disease in Japan, we analyzed for th
Spinner Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), the demyelinating disorder resulting from impaired sulfatide catabolism, is caused by allelic mutations of the Arylsulfatase A (ARSA) locus except for extremely rare cases of Saposin-B (Sap-B) deficiency. We characterized twenty-one unrelated Italian patie
