Rapid single-base mismatch detection in genotyping for phenylketonuria.

Abstract excerpt

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder that results from a deficiency of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). Identification of the PKU genotype is useful for predicting clinical PKU phenotype. More than 400 mutations resulting in PAH deficiency have been reported worldwide. We used a genedetecting instrument to identify the nine prevalent Japanese mutations in the PAH gene among 31 PKU patients as a...
