Abstract excerpt
We investigated the molecular basis of hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) in 160 patients from 92 families by means of a PCR-based mutation screening strategy, consisting of restriction enzyme digestion and direct sequencing. Sixteen different mutations of the aldolase B (ALDOB) gene were identified in HFI patients. As in previous studies, p.A150P (64%), p.A175D (16%) and p.N335K (5%) were the most common...
