Identification of three missense mutations in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene in Japanese subjects with maturity-onset diabetes of the young.

Abstract excerpt

We screened the protein-coding region of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene (PPARA) and the flanking intron sequences for mutations in 57 unrelated Japanese subjects with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). We found three missense mutations, designated P22R, D140Y, and V227A. The D140Y and V227A mutations were found at similar frequencies in MODY and in nondiabetic Japanese...
