Abstract excerpt
The occurrence and genotype-phenotype correlations of the eight most common mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene were studied in 43 unrelated Polish patients suffering from different types of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). Screening for mutations p.R84Q, p.S96F, c.459+1G>A, p.I179S, p.A212V, c.1204+1G>A, p.P426L, and c.1401-1411del allowed the identification of 53.5% of the mutant alleles. In the...
