Abstract excerpt
We have indentified a GT-to-TT transversion at the splice donor site of intron 8 in the glycosylasparaginase gene from an African American aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) patient. This mutation causes abnormal splicing of glycosylasparaginase pre-mRNA by joining exon 7 to 9 and excluding 134 bp exon 8. The effect of the mutation is compounded by a frame shift that occurs after the deletion site resulting in...
