Abstract excerpt
Arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency (ARSA-PD) may be related to increased susceptibility to neuro-psychiatric disorders. An association of allele 2417G/3352A with schizophrenia was found in a group of Portuguese patients. In the Portuguese population, at least one PD associated alteration exists in 18.3% of the ARSA alleles. Allele 2417G/3352G was invariably associated with a conserved haplotype, while 2417G/3352A...
