Abstract excerpt
Deficient arylsulfatase A activity causes the neurodegenerative disease metachromatic leukodystrophy. However, some individuals with deficient enzyme activity appear clinically normal. This "pseudodeficiency" allele commonly found among many reported populations (frequency approximately 0.10) is associated with two A-->G transitions in cis in the arylsulfatase A gene causing the simultaneous loss of an...
