Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A generalized biochemical deficiency of the mitochondrial matrix enzyme ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) is the inborn error in gyrate atrophy (GA), an autosomal recessive blinding disease of the retina and choroid of the eye. Because mutations in the OAT gene show a high degree of molecular heterogeneity in GA, the authors set out to determine the mutations by rapid and efficient methods. METHODS: The...
