Metachromatic leucodystrophy in three families from Nova Scotia, Canada: a recurring mutation in the arylsulphatase A gene.

Abstract excerpt

Metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disease resulting from a deficiency of arylsulphatase A. We have identified a child with infantile onset MLD who is homozygous for an A212V mutation, a mutation previously reported but not further characterised. We have introduced this mutation into an arylsulphatase A expression vector by site directed mutagenesis. Transient expression of this mutant...
