Abstract excerpt
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is a potentially fatal autosomal recessive disease of carbohydrate metabolism. HFI patients exhibit a deficiency of fructose 1-phosphate aldolase (aldolase B), the isozyme expressed in tissues that metabolize fructose. The eight protein-coding exons, including splicing signals, of the aldolase B gene from one HFI patient were amplified by PCR. Dot-blot hybridization of the...
