Abstract excerpt
We recently reported cloning a cDNA encoding Pex7p, the peroxisomal PTS2 receptor. PEX7 mutations cause the peroxisome biogenesis disorder (PBD) rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). In a survey of 44 RCDP probands, we found that one PEX7 allele, L292ter, accounted for 50% of mutant PEX7 genes. Here we report the characterization of the PEX7 structural gene, which spans 102 kb on chromosome 6q21-q22.2 and...
