Abstract excerpt
We have localized the PvuII polymorphism of the glucocerebrosidase gene complex to intron 6 of the active gene. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify intron 6 of DNA samples from Pv1.1-/Pv1.1+ individuals, we defined the mutation causing this polymorphism as a G----A single-base substitution at position 3931 of the active gene. By analyzing 54 unrelated Gaucher patients we show strong linkage...
