Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the mutations of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene in patients with phenylketonuria in Gansu province. METHODS: Mutations of the PAH gene were detected in exons 3, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 with flaking introns of PAH gene by PCR and DNA sequencing. RESULTS: Mutations were identified in 45/58 alleles (detection rate: 96.4%), in total of 18 variants. Among them IVS12+5G>C was a novel...
