Abstract excerpt
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) II deficiency is the most common inherited disorder of lipid metabolism affecting skeletal muscle. To facilitate the identification of disease-causing mutations in the CPT II gene (CPT1), we have established the genomic organization of this gene. CPT1 spans approximately 20 kb of 1p32 and is composed of five exons ranging from 81 to 1305 bp. The sequences of the exon--intron...
