Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of genetic analysis of tyrosinase gene (TYR) in oculocutaneous albinism type I (OCA1). Mutation analysis and prenatal genetic diagnosis of TYR gene for seven pedigrees with OCA1 were performed. METHODS: PCR was used to amplify the exons, exon-intron boundaries and promoter of the TYR gene in the probands and/or their parents. The products were further analyzed by direct...
