Abstract
A genetic analysis was performed in an isolate in which metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and aryl sulfatase A (ASA) pseudodeficiency are relatively frequent. The frequency of matings at risk and the frequency of ASA pseudodeficiency among parents of MLD patients are compatible with allelism between the gene determining MLD and the gene determining ASA pseudodeficiency. Two independent pedigrees including MLD patients and ASA-deficient healthy individuals also fit the model of allelism.Entities:
