Molecular genetic analysis of the <i>APEX nuclease</i> gene in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
We analyzed genomic DNA from ALS patients for mutations in the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APEX nuclease) gene. We identified three rare polymorphisms in the untranslated region of the gene and one common two-allele polymorphism (D148E). The allelic frequency D148E was significantly different in sporadic ALS patients compared with controls. A conserved amino acid change and a 4-base pair deletion were...
