    Abstract

    Two novel missense mutations, 1939G to A (R518Q) and 2017A to G (Q544R) were identified in Japanese patients with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). They are located in exon 6, which encodes part of the putative adenosine triphosphate binding domain of ALD protein. The ALD protein carrying the R518Q mutation was undetectable in fibroblasts, by immunoblot and immunofluorescence analysis, while the Q544R mutation had no apparent effect on the stability and localization of the ALD protein, but is expected to affect its function.
