Identification of a novel splicing mutation in the ARSA gene in a patient with late-infantile form of metachromatic leukodystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD; MIM 250100), a severe neurodegenerative disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, is caused by mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene. Although several germ line ARSA mutations have been identified in patients with MLD of various ethnic backgrounds elsewhere in the world, no genetically confirmed cases of MLD have been reported in Korea. Recently, we identified a...
