Abstract excerpt
There is a polymorphic tetranucleotide short tandem repeats (STR) sequence in the intron 3 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. The polymorphism of this STR sequence in Chinese was analysed on 36 normal individuals and 16 PKU families. After PCR amplification, the DNA fragments were separ...
