Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed reticulocyte and leukocyte mRNAs isolated from a patient with congenital methemoglobinemia and pseudohermaphrodism. The cytochrome b5 cDNA sequences were amplified using specific oligonucleotide primers and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA sequencing indicated that there was a 16-bp deletion in the cDNA leading to a new, in-frame stop signal and resulting in a truncated protein of 45...
