Abstract excerpt

The metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD)--causing mutation c.1204 + 1G > A damages an intron-exon splice site recognition sequence. This results in a complete loss of enzymatic activity of arylsulfatase A (ARSA) protein molecules. We have found a late-infantile type MLD-patient to be homozygous for this mutation, which was not reported earlier, but is consistent with previous suggestions. Interestingly, the...
