## Communicated by David Vale Type I (tyrosinase related) oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) results from mutations of the tyrosinase gene on chromosome 1 l q that lead to reduced or absent melanin pigment synthesis. The phenotype of Type I OCA is broad, ranging from a total lack to only a moderate red
Fabry disease, an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism, results from mutations in the a-galactosidase A gene at Xq22.1. Studies of the mutations in unrelated Fabry families have identified a variety of lesions indicating the molecular genetic heterogeneity underlying the disease. Fo
Penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), a high molecular mass PBP, is the primary enzyme responsible for the b-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Inhibition of a PBP such as PBP2a by b-lactams is due to covalent modiÐcation of an active site serine residue. Based
