摘要
We herein describe the first Chinese case of Canavan disease diagnosed by biochemical analysis and confirmed by DNA studies. We report two novel mutations: c.2T>C/M1T, an initiation codon mutation, and c.209A>G/N70S, which is located at the enzyme-substrate binding site. The combination of these two mutations resulted in a congenital form of Canavan disease. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
