Abstract excerpt
The authors applied the polymerase chain reaction- (PCR) based color complementation assay for rapid detection of the 1226 ("Jewish") mutation of the glucocerebrosidase gene. Fifty-seven unrelated patients with Gaucher's disease and 50 unrelated normal Ashkenazi Jewish volunteers were studied. This mutation was identified in more than 75% of the Jewish Gaucher's disease alleles and in 4 (8%) of the 50 normal...
