Abstract excerpt
Pseudodeficiency of arylsulfatase A is characterized by reduction of arylsulfatase A activity without neurodegeneration, making it an important complication when diagnosing metachromatic leukodystrophy. Two DNA substitutions are associated with arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency. One, 1788A-->G, results in the loss of an N-glycosylated asparagine in the protein, and the second, 2723A-->G, removes the...
