Abstract excerpt
A nonsense mutation at codon 95 (R95X) in the C9 gene is responsible for most Japanese C9 deficiency (C9D) cases, with a carrier frequency of 6.7%. Upon analysis of microsatellite markers and newly identified dinucleotide repeat number polymorphisms in the 3' flanking region of the C9 gene, a founder effect was demonstrated for the R95X mutation of the C9 gene in Japanese. Screening for the R95X mutation in...
