A model of mRNA splicing in adult lysosomal storage disease (glycogenosis type II)
1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
Glycogenosis type II is a recessively inherited disorder caused by mutations in the acid maltase (GAA) gene. Clinically, three different phenotypes are recognized: Infantile, juvenile and adult forms. A majority of compound heterozygous adult-onset patients carry a t-13g mutation in intron 1 associated with splicing out the first coding exon (exon 2). We have studied the mechanism of this mutation in a model...
