Abstract excerpt
The frequency of two common disease-associated mutations in the arylsulphatase A (ASA) gene, and of a mutation causing ASA pseudodeficiency, have been established in metachromatic leukodystrophy patients diagnosed in our laboratory. A total of 37 mutant genes have been analysed. The G-->A change destroying the splice donor site of exon 2 is generally associated with more severe disease and was found in 43.2% of...
