Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed 16 missense mutations of the tissue-nonspecific AP (TNAP) gene found in patients with hypophosphatasia. These mutations span the phenotypic spectrum of the disease, from the lethal perinatal/ infantile forms to the less severe adult and odontohypophosphatasia. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a sequence tag into the TNAP cDNA and eliminate the glycosylphosphatidylinositol...
