Abstract excerpt
Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis are well known for the presence of titer antibodies against dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. We have taken advantage of a cDNA probe for dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase to explore the possibility of polymorphism of the E2 subunit by probing genomic DNA from 38 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and 26 healthy...
