Abstract excerpt
We have synthesized and sequenced alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT; HGMW-approved symbol for the gene--AGXT) cDNA from the liver of a primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) patient who had normal levels of hepatic peroxisomal immunoreactive AGT protein, but no AGT catalytic activity. This revealed the presence of a single point mutation (G----A at cDNA nucleotide 367), which is predicted to cause a...
