Abstract excerpt
Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is a recessively inherited metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, aspartylglucosaminidase. The worldwide most common mutation causing the disease is the AGUFin, enriched in Finland; all the other known AGU mutations are family-specific. We developed exon-specific primers to facilitate mutation search directly from the genomic DNA and identified a novel...
