Abstract excerpt
A genetic defect was investigated in a newly diagnosed Japanese case with muscle type phosphofructokinase (PFK-M) deficiency. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of patient cDNA revealed an in-frame truncation of 165 bases. This was compatible to the complete deletion of exon 19. The rest of the sequence was identical to that of the normal PFK-M cDNA. Sequencing of PCR amplified genomic DNA of the...
