Abstract excerpt
Mutations causing mucopolysaccharidosis IVA in 15 Japanese and one Caucasian patient were characterized. To screen these mutations, we used a combination of single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and heteroduplex analysis for PCR products of targeted cDNA or genomic DNA. Various small mutations were identified in 23 of 26 alleles, while the other six alleles had large rearrangements. Cycle sequencing of...
