Identification of a two base pair deletion in five unrelated families with adrenoleukodystrophy: A possible hot spot for mutations

Abstract

The gene for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) was recently identified. Intragenic deletions of several kilobases were found in about 7% of patients. Point mutations, expected to be very heterogeneous, were identified so far in only two patients. We report the identification of a two base pair deletion at position 1801-1802 of the ALD cDNA, located within the fifth exon of the ALD gene, which precedes the two consensus motives for ATP-binding. This microdeletion was found in five out of 40 unrelated ALD kindreds, indicating that this position is a hot spot for mutations. The mutation was observed both in patients with childhood cerebral ALD (CCALD) and in patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
