The French Canadian Tay-Sachs disease deletion mutation: identification of probable founders.

abstract：:Esterase D was quantitatively measured in the red blood cells from three patients from three separate kindreds who had abnormalities of chromosome 13. The esterase D activity was proportional to the number of copies of the q14 region of chromosome 13 present. These findings confirm published data localizing the estera...
