Abstract excerpt
We characterized a 2.1-kb human cDNA with a 1362-bp (454-amino acid) open reading frame showing 70.3% amino acid identity to goose malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD). We have identified two different homozygous mutations in human MCD (hMCD) by using RT-PCR analysis of fibroblast RNA from two previously reported consanguineous Scottish patients with MCD deficiency. The first mutation is a 442C-->G transversion...
