For Asah1 (Farber lipogranulomatosis) and Mcoln1 (mucolipidosis IV), where isogenic single and double mutants are both available (Li et al., 2017; Zhang T. et al., 2019), severe pathologies were associated only with the double mutant, suggesting that at least a portion of ohnologues share similar functions. This evidence concerns the gene ASAH1 and Farber lipogranulomatosis.
