Abstract excerpt
The tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene in four unrelated patients with hypophosphatasia was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism and the direct sequencing method. Of the participating patients, one had childhood-type and three had perinatal-type disease. All carried a deletion of T at cDNA number 1559, which causes a frameshift downstream from codon...
