1 In contrast, an unrelated Type A patient of European ancestry (proband 2) was heteroallelic for a two-base (TT) deletion in exon 2 which caused a frame-shift mutation at ASM codon 178 (designated fsL178), leading to a premature stop at codon 190, and a G to A transition in exon 3 which caused a methionine to isoleucine substitution at codon 382 (designated M382I). fsl178 sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 Homo sapiens
2 In contrast, an unrelated Type B patient of European descent (proband 3) was heteroallelic for two missense mutations, a G to A transition in exon 2 which predicted a glycine to arginine substitution at ASM codon 242 (designated G242R), and an A to G transition in exon 3 which resulted in an asparagine to serine substitution at codon 383 (designated N383S). Glycine sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 Homo sapiens
