Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD, OMIM 250100) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the ARSA gene (OMIM 607574) that lead to deficiency in Arylsulfatase A (ASA). ASA pseudodeficiency (PD-ASA) is a biochemical condition that substantially diminishes ASA activity but is not associated with clinical manifestations. PD-ASA is associated with the c.1055A>G (p.Asn352Ser) (rs2071421) and...
