A new mutation in the gene for lysosomal acid lipase leads to Wolman disease in an African kindred.
Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) and Wolman disease (WD) are both autosomal recessive disorders associated with reduced activity and genetic defects of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL). The strikingly more severe course of WD is caused by genetic defects of LAL that leave no residual enzymatic ac...
