Abstract excerpt
Four patients with mental illness were found to be deficient in plasma alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase for the first time in Japan [Exp Clin Immunogenet 1999;16:125-130]. Complete sequencing of FUT6 genes in these individuals revealed the presence of two point mutations, i.e., G739 to A (Glu-->247 to Lys) and C945 to A (Tyr-->315 to stop). In addition to two reported alleles having G739 to A (pf1) and G739 to A and...
