X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is an inherited neurological disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene (located on chromosome Xq28) encoding adrenoleukodystrophy protein which is involved in the transport of substrates from the cytoplasm into the peroxisomal lumen. There is a scarcity of reports on mutation analysis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy from India. Here, we report 3 novel variants (c.67_83del17, c.395G>A, c.1938_1939dupGG) in 3 unrelated Indian families.
X连锁肾上腺脑白质营养不良是一种遗传性神经疾病,由ABCD1基因(位于X染色体q28上)的突变引起,该基因编码肾上腺脑白质营养不良蛋白,参与底物从细胞质转运到过氧化物酶体腔的过程。关于印度X连锁肾上腺脑白质营养不良突变分析的报道很少。在此,我们报告了3个不相关的印度家庭中的3种新变体(c.67_83del17、c.395G>A、c.1938_1939dupGG)。
