Abstract excerpt
Alpha-mannosidosis is a recessively inherited disorder due to the deficiency of the lysosomal alpha-mannosidase. We report the molecular analysis performed in two patients with the late onset form of alpha-mannosidosis. Four new alleles were identified: three missense mutations involving highly conserved residues, c.597 C>A (p.H200N), c.1553 T>C (p.L518P) and c.2746 C>A (p.R916S) and a single nucleotide deletion,...
