We present the molecular genetic analysis of an infantile-onset Sandhoff disease patient. Genomic DNA amplification, heteroduplex analysis, cloning and sequencing revealed a 4-bp deletion in exon 4 (497 ΔAGTT). The result is a frameshift mutation that leads to a stop codon in exon 5. This mutation is associated with a dramatic decrease of HEXB mRNA levels. © 2001 Academic Press.

Abstract
We present the molecular genetic analysis of an infantile-onset Sandhoff disease patient. Genomic DNA amplification, heteroduplex analysis, cloning and sequencing revealed a 4-bp deletion in exon 4 (497 ΔAGTT). The result is a frameshift mutation that leads to a stop codon in exon 5. This mutation is associated with a dramatic decrease of HEXB mRNA levels. © 2001 Academic Press.
