Abstract excerpt
Three Japanese patients showed very low butyrylcholinesterase activity in their sera and appeared to be homozygous for silent genes for butyrylcholinesterase. From DNA analysis, all three patients were compound heterozygotes: GGA(Gly) to CGA(Arg) at codon 365 (G365R) and TTC(Phe) to TCC(Ser) at codon 418 (F418S) in patient 1, G365R and CGT(Arg) to TGT(Cys) at codon 515 (R515C) in patient 2 and ACT(Thr) to...
