Abstract excerpt
The R408W mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene (PAH) of phenylketonuria patients occurs on haplotypes 2.3 and 1.8 in Europeans. The mutation involves a CpG dinucleotide; nonetheless, a single recombination event might also explain the two haplotype associations. By analysis of an STR in the PAH gene 5' to the 408 codon and of the VNTR system in the 3' UTR, we identified unique features of the haplotype...
