Abstract excerpt
Ninety-six alleles (36 alleles of Japanese and 60 of Caucasian origin) from forty-eight patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA were investigated for structural gene alterations using Southern blot analysis. All patients had a previously demonstrated deficiency of N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulfate-sulfatase and exhibited a wide spectrum of clinical severity. Initially, using the full-length cDNA as a probe, five...
