Abstract excerpt
Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase A. Here we describe a hitherto unknown arylsulfatase A allele carrying a E312D missense mutation and characterize the effects of this and three previously described missense mutations, G86D, Y201C, and D255H, on arylsulfatase A. In transfection experiments no enzyme activity can be expressed from arylsulfatase A...
