Erroneous assignment of Gaucher disease genotype as a consequence of a complete gene deletion.
Human mutation - 1 Jan 1994
Beutler E, Gelbart T
Abstract excerpt
Two sisters with moderately severe Gaucher disease were diagnosed as having the usually relatively benign 1226G/1226G genotype by examination of DNA amplified from exon 9, where this mutation is located. Because of the discrepancy between the apparent genotype and the phenotype, we suspected that one of the alleles had not amplified. Therefore, the DNA of both parents was examined. The father was heterozygous for...
