| Allelic Variant 1 |
R220X; FABRY DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
ARG220TER |
| Remarks |
50% of normal Alpha gal A, normal Alpha gal B, Xg(a) antigen +/-; two affected sons; two populations of cells, one with normal alpha-galactosidase-A activity and a second with deficient enzyme activity observed using cell sorting; donor subject is heterozygous for a C>T change at nucleotide 658 in exon 5 of the GLA gene (c.658C>T) resulting in a stop codon [Arg220Ter (R220X)]; donor is also heterozygous for three SNPs: IVS4-16A>G (rs2071397), IVS6-22C>T (rs2071228) and c.1-10C>T (rs2071225) |
