Abstract excerpt
Salla disease (SD), an inherited free sialic acid storage disorder, is caused by impaired transport of free sialic acid across the lysosomal membrane. Clinical characteristics of the disease include severe psychomotor retardation and some neurological abnormalities. We report here detailed linkage analyses of 50 Finnish SD families that localize the SD disease gene to a refined chromosomal area on 6q14-q15. The...
