Abstract excerpt
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by lesions in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. The recent studies on PAH mutations show the genetic drift of PKU alleles among some Oriental populations. Therefore, we searched for PKU mutations among Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese. Direct sequencing was conducted on DNA fragments amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, using...
