Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene. No work on molecular genetics of MLD has been reported from India and the mutational spectrum in Indian patients is not known. The present study was undertaken to identify mutations in arylsulfatase A gene in Indian MLD patients, to evaluate genotype-phenotype correlation, and to see the...
