Abstract excerpt
Our preliminary studies on 43 unrelated Polish patients suffering from different types of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) showed that four mutations in the ARSA gene accounted for 55% of mutated alleles (c.459+1G>A, p.P426L, p.I179S and c.1204+1G>A). Subsequently, we reported six additional mutations jointly accounting for 10% of mutated alleles. Further sequence analysis of the ARSA gene performed on DNA...
