Abstract excerpt
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is an inborn error of metabolism, inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder and caused by a decrease in the activity of fructose-1-phosphate aldolase (aldolase B) in affected individuals. Investigation of the molecular basis of HFI is reported here by the identification of two molecular lesions in the aldolase B gene of the HFI individual. Using polymerase chain reaction...
