Abstract excerpt
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a severe neurodegenerative disease associated with deficient arylsulfatase A activity. Biochemical confirmation of this disorder has been complicated by a clinically normal but enzymatically deficient variant, pseudo arylsulfatase-A deficiency (PD). The PD mutation is associated with two A-->G transitions in the arylsulfatase A gene. They can be detected simultaneously with a...
