| GENE MAPPING & DOSAGE STUDIES - Y CHROMOSOME |
PCR analysis of DNA from this cell culture gave a negative result with a primer for Yq11, DYS227. |
| |
| N-ACETYLASPARTOACYLASE |
Dr Reuben Matalon (personal communication) has reported that this fibroblast culture shows N-acetylaspartoacylase activity which falls in the deficient range. |

608034.0003; CANAVAN DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
ALA305GLU; In patients with Canavan disease (271900), Kaul et al. (1994) identified a 914C-A change in exon 6 of the ASPA gene, resulting in an ala305-to-glu (A305E) substitution. The mutation was found exclusively in non-Jewish patients and constituted 60% of the 40 chromosomes analyzed. Expression of the mutation in COS-1 cells showed a complete loss of ASPA enzyme activity.
Shaag et al. (A J Hum Genet 57:572-580,1995) found the ala305-to-glu (A305E) mutation due to a GCA-to-GAA transversion in 15 out of 38 mutant alleles in 19 non-Jewish patients. This distribution was pan-European, suggesting that it is the most ancient mutation.

608034.0005; CANAVAN DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
TYR231TER; In Ashkenazi Jewish patients with Canavan disease, Kaul et al. [Genomics 21: 364-370 1994)] identified a 693C-A nonsense mutation in exon 5 of the ASPA gene (Y231X). Expression of the mutation in COS-1 cells showed a complete loss of ASPA enzyme activity. Among Ashkenazi Jewish patients with Canavan disease, Kaul et al. [Hum. Genet. 59: 95-102 (1996)] found that the G285A missense mutation (608034.0001) and the Y231X nonsense mutation accounted for 97% of 104 mutant chromosomes examined. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; skin fibroblasts show deficient N-acetylaspartoacylase activity; for the ASPA gene, the donor subject is heterozygous for a c.914 C>A (exon 6, A305E), heterozygous for a novel c.527 C>A mutation (exon 4, G176D), and heterozygous for a c.693 C>T polymorphism (exon 5, Y231X); donor subject is also homozygous for a R249W mutation in the HEXA gene (83/17 mut/wt), associated with HEX A pseudodeficiency; similarly affected sibling (GM00060). Same subject as GM28249 (iPSC). |
