Abstract excerpt
The autosomal recessive disease primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is caused by a deficiency of the liver-specific peroxisomal enzyme alanine:glyoxylate amino-transferase (AGT). This paper concerns the identification, characterization and clinical use of an unusual discretely polymorphic tandem repeat sequence in the fourth intron of the human AGT gene (gene locus designation AGXT). In a random Caucasian...
