Abstract excerpt
We performed haplotype analysis using nine single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ornithine transcarbamylase gene to explore the ancestral origins of three mutations associated with late-onset phenotype in male patients: p.R40H, p.R277W and p.Y55D. Overall, 8 haplotypes were defined among 14 families carrying p.R40H, 5 families carrying p.R277W and 2 families with p.Y55D mutations. Of nine Japanese families...
