Abstract excerpt
A number of neurodegenerative diseases are mediated by mutation-induced protein misfolding. The resulting genetic defects, however, are expressed in varying phenotypes. Of the several well-established glycolytic enzyme deficiencies, triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency is the only one in which haemolytic anaemia is coupled with progressive, severe neurological disorder. In a Hungarian family with severe...
