Abstract excerpt
This paper reports studies of two novel, allelic missense mutations found in the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY) gene from a new case of AHCY deficiency in an infant girl who died at age four months. The mutations lead to replacement of arginine with cysteine (p.Arg49Cys) and aspartic acid with glycine (p.Asp86Gly). Functional analysis of recombinant proteins containing the mutations detected showed that...
