Abstract excerpt
Two patients with low lactate dehydrogenase (LD) activity were discovered during healthcare examinations and were found to be homozygous for LD-H (heart) subunit deficiency by electrophoretic isoenzyme analysis of serum and erythrocyte hemolysate. The molecular nature of the genetic mutations was characterized by amplification by the polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. In one case, a single-base...
