Abstract excerpt
To understand the molecular basis of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) in Japanese patients, we analyzed the presence of three known mutant arylsulfatase A (ASA) alleles in 9 Japanese patients with MLD. Two of these mutant alleles (designated 609A and 2381T) were reported to be relatively frequent in a sample of predominantly Caucasian MLD. The other allele, with a substitution of Gly-99 by Asp (allele 445A),...
