This study reports two novel deletion mutations in two Indian families with PLS. One of the mutations introduces a premature stop codon, thereby producing a truncated protein. In the other case, the mutation observed leads to the loss of a highly conserved histidine molecule that is present in the active site of the enzyme. In both cases, mutations may result in a conformation change, causing loss of the enzymatic activity.
