Abstract excerpt
We report on two independent alterations of the NF1 gene in a three-generation kindred with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) in a mutation analysis of exon 31 of the NF1 gene we detected the previously reported nonsense mutation R1947X. This C-to-T transition at codon 1947 in exon 31 is considered to represent a mutation "hot spot" of the NF1 gene due to 5mCpG...
