Allelic Variant 1 |
612280.0005; FUCOSIDOSIS |
Identified Mutation |
c.244C>T (p.Gln82Ter); By PCR amplification and sequencing of all 8 exons of the FUCA1 gene, Seo et al. (1993) identified 6 mutations thought to be responsible for fucosidosis. In 2 Jewish-Italian sibs, they found compound heterozygosity, one mutation being a C-to-T transition causing a gln77-to-ter change (Q77X) in exon 1.

Allelic Variant 2 |
612280.0001; FUCOSIDOSIS |
Identified Mutation |
c.1279C>T (p.Gln427Ter); In about 20% of families with fucosidosis, Southern blot analysis demonstrates that a single EcoRI restriction site in the open reading frame of the FUCA1 gene is obliterated. Kretz et al. (1989) demonstrated that the loss of the EcoRI site is determined by a C-to-T transition which results in the generation of an in-frame TAA stop codon 120-bp upstream of the normal stop codon.
