- Abstract
A T > C transition (L428P) was detected in the arylsulfatase A alleles of a late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy patient. The mutation causes a Leu > Pro substitution in exon 8. It lies in a region conserved among arylsulfatases. The mutation was not detected in 37 other patients and in 57 normal controls.
