Use of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis for detection of mutation and prospective diagnosis in late onset ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Ornithine transcarbamylase (ornithine carbamoyltransferase, EC 2.1.3.3) deficiency is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism with considerable phenotypic variability in affected males. Using a combination of the polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), we defined a mutation in a family in whom affected males have significant residual enzyme activity. A C----T change in the...
