Abstract excerpt
Four unrelated Japanese patients with infantile Sandhoff disease (beta-hexosaminidase beta-subunit deficiency) have been studied for the molecular basis of their severe phenotype. Two patients had complex base substitutions; one patient was homoallelic for a triple mutation (P417L, K121R, and S255R) and the other was a compound heterozygote of a double (P417L and K121R) mutation and the triple mutation. K121R is...
