Abstract excerpt
The arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene is observed to be deficient in patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a type of lysosomal storage disease. MLD is a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This study aimed to map the most deleterious mutations at the metal binding sites of ARSA and the amino acids in proximity to the mutated positions. We utilized...
