Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The variable numbers of tandem-repeat (VNTR) alleles at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene have been used in carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in phenylketonuria families. This study was carried out to analyze VNTR alleles at the PAH gene in Iranian Azeri Turkish population. METHODS: In this study, 200 alleles from general population were studied by PCR. RESULTS: The frequencies of VNTR...
