The gene MCOLN1 is mutated in Mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV), a neurodegenerative, recessive, lysosomal storage disorder. The disease is found in relatively high frequency among Ashkenazi Jews due to two founder mutations that comprise 95% of the MLIV alleles in this population [Bargal et al., 2000].
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-chromosomal disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A. We performed mutation screening on a cohort of 121 patients including 84 male and 37 female index cases and identified a total of 90 different mutations, 34 of which a
