Three novel mutant arylsulfatase A alleles causing metachromatic leukodystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase A. This leads to the accumulation of 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide, which results in severe demyelination. Here we describe a novel non-sense mutation W124ter and two disease-causing missense mutations E382Q and C500F in arylsulfatase A gene. Another so far unknown allele harbors three sequence alterations: two...
