Abstract excerpt
A silent mutation or sequence polymorphism, an A to T substitution at codon 399 in exon 11 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been identified by DNA sequence analysis in the Chinese. The frequencies of this new mutation in normal and abnormal (phenylketonuria: PKU) genes are 0.005 and 0.09, respectively, based on the analyses of 100 apparently normal individuals and 39 PKU patients, as demonstrated...
