Abstract excerpt
The molecular analysis of the human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene in Mexican phenylketonuric (PKU) patients is described. We analyzed the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotypes of five probands and ten non-affected relatives, belonging to four unrelated PKU families. Twenty-nine alleles were typified, corresponding to 12 different haplotypes. Eight RFLP haplotypes corresponded to those...
