Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the characteristics of the PAH gene mutation in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) in Xinjiang area. METHODS: The mutations in exons 3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 and the flanking intronic sequence of the PAH gene were detected by PCR/SSCP analysis and direct DNA sequencing in 46 PKU patients. RESULTS: Twenty different mutations were found in 68/92 alleles (73.9%). The prevalent mutations of R243Q,...
