Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to identify the mutations responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency in Cypriot patients detected through neonatal screening. DESIGN AND METHODS: Analysis of the PAH gene was performed by direct sequencing of the patients' genomic DNA, MLPA analysis and real-time PCR. RESULTS: Among 22 independent alleles thirteen previously described mutations were detected...
