Familiar ochronotic arthropathy-caused by a gene mutation traced three hundred years.

Abstract excerpt

Authors trace an ochronotic Hungarian family, which moved from Slovakia to Hungary 300 years ago. As the family members lived in a relatively close village community the gene mutation had been survived silently for ages before the clinical symptoms developed. Family tree analysis could detect with the use of allele specific PCR amplification-the p.G161R mutation of the homogentisic acid 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD)...
