Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the molecular basis of arylsulfatase A deficiency in a family at risk for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and determine the genetic risk in the offspring. METHODS: Mutations in the arylsulfatase A gene were identified by PCR amplification and restriction enzyme digestion. Individuals had previously been tested for arylsulfatase A activity. RESULTS: Assays of arylsulfatase A activity had...
