Detection of mutations in the ALD gene (ABCD1) in seven Italian families: description of four novel mutations

Hum Mutat. 2000 Sep;16(3):271. doi: 10.1002/1098-1004(200009)16:3<271::AID-HUMU15>3.0.CO;2-D.

Abstract

The study describes the mutations causing adrenoleukodystrophy in seven Italian families. Four missense mutations leading to amino acid substitutions, two frameshift mutations leading to a premature termination signal, and a splicing mutation were identified. Mutations 2014C>T (P543L), 2053A>G (Q556A), 673-674insCC, and 1874+1G>A are described for the first time in this report. Mutations 1638C>T (R418W), 1588G>A(R401Q), and 1801-1802delAG are already known to be link to ALD.
