Abstract excerpt
The sensitivity of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for the detection of mutations in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) gene among Finnish patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) was studied. 13 novel mutations including one de novo event, and six previously characterized mutations were identified among AIP patients. The 19 mutations reported here for 28 families cover 72% of...
