Abstract excerpt
The diagnosis of hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) presents a difficult challenge that often involves procedures of high risk to the patient. A relatively noninvasive method that involves molecular analysis of common alleles would offer a decided advantage. The molecular defects in the aldolase B gene were studied in 31 HFI subjects (23 pedigrees, 47 apparently independent alleles) from the United States and...
