Abstract excerpt
The hph-1 ENU-mutant mouse provides a model of tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency for studying hyperphenylalaninaemia, dopa-response dystonia, and vascular dysfunction. We have successively localized the hph-1 mutation to a congenic interval of 1.6-2.8 Mb, containing the GCH gene encoding GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTP-CH I). We used these data to establish a PCR method for genotyping wild type, hph-1 and heterozygote...
