Abstract excerpt
We evaluated 62 Gaucher patients to determine whether patients with similar phenotypes had the same DNA point mutations. Genomic DNA from these Gaucher patients was screened for the 3 most frequent single-point mutations, occurring in 69% of the 124 patient alleles, and resulting in changes in amino acids 370, 444, and 463. Many different genotypes were observed, at least one of which is present in all 3 types of...
