General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction Krabbe's disease, or globoid leukodystrophy, is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of galactocerebrosidase activity. Several variants in confirmed patients are identified by newborn screening for Krabbe's disease. In some cases, polymorphisms is seen in cis with these variants. These variants are expressed in COS1 cells, and the GALC activity measured is compared with known mutations and normal sequence. In some cases, the presence of polymorphisms on the same copy of the gene as a mutation results in very low galactocerebrosidase activity Homo sapiens
