| Allelic Variant 1 |
300644.0018; FABRY DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
ASN215SER; Eng et al. (1993) and Davies et al. (1993) have described an AAT-to-AGT mutation at codon 215 of exon 5 resulting in an asn215-to-ser substitution. The patients had mild forms of Fabry disease.
|
| Remarks |
Cardiac variant; mild clinical manifestations; residual alpha-galactosidase A activity in fibroblasts and WBC; no activity in plasma; 46,XY; donor subject is hemizygous for an A>G transition in exon 5 of the GLA gene (AAT>AGT) resulting in the substitution of serine for asparagine at codon 215 [Asn215Ser (N215S)] |
