Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to perform genetic analysis on 18 different blood-spot samples collected from neonates detected as hyperphenylalaninemic by Northeastern Italian screening program. DNA was extracted from blood-spots. Exons/introns of PAH gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR products were purified and sequenced with both forward and reverse primers. The most frequent mutations...
