Abstract excerpt
The spectrum of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene mutations was determined in 25 families of hyperphenylalaninemia identified by a neonatal screening program in Taiwan. The coding sequence and exon-flanking intron sequences of PAH gene were amplified and sequenced. Mutations were identified in forty-five of the 50 chromosomes. R241C was the most common mutation (36% of the chromosomes), followed by R408Q (14%...
