Abstract excerpt
The incidence of phenylketonuria (PKU) in the western part of Poland is 1 in 5000 live births. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotypes at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus have been analysed in 46 Polish families with PKU. Among 43 fully-informative families 16 RFLP haplotypes were identified. Haplotype 2 is the most frequently (62%) associated with Polish PKU alleles, and the codon 408...
