Investigations on the polymorphism of glyoxalase I (EC 4.4.1.5) in the population of Hessen, Germany.

abstract：:Pairs of cultured amniotic cells and maternal fibroblasts ("feto-maternal pairs") were studied for hexosaminidase A (HXA) and arylsulfatase A (ASA) activity. These lysosomal enzyme activities are genetically deficient in Tay-Sachs disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy, respectively. After HXA was standardized by re...
