Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the molecular mechanism of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy(ALD) in Chinese. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction in exon 1, exon 5 and their flanking sequences and direct DNA sequencing of ALD gene were performed in four patients, their mothers and twenty normal individuals as controls. RESULTS: A splice mutation was identified in the interface of exon 5 and intron 5 (1875 G-->A). This splice...
