Characterization of the large deletion in the GALC gene found in patients with Krabbe disease

Abstract excerpt

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) of Krabbe disease results from mutations in the galactocerebrosidase (GALC) gene. Previously, we had identified a large deletion in the GALC gene together with a C to T polymorphism at cDNA position 502 in a significant number of cases of infantile Krabbe disease; however, the deletion breakpoint had not been found. In this paper we show that the deletion is approximately 30 kb...
