Abstract excerpt
mRNA from a postmortem liver sample of a patient with classical phenylketonuria was examined using the chemical cleavage of mismatch (CCM) method to search for mutations in phenylalanine hydroxylase. Initial screening identified a heterozygous alteration in exon 2 which changed the encoded amino acid from phenylalanine (TTC) to leucine (TTG) at codon 39 and a polymorphism at codon 430 where the change from CTG to...
