Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mutations of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene in the cases of classical phenylketonuria (PKU). METHODS: The exons 3-12 of the PAH gene in 32 PKU patients from Inner Mongolia were studied by using PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism technique and DNA direct sequencing. RESULTS: Fourteen point mutations were identified. The frequencies of mutations were R243Q (12/64), Y356X...
