Abstract excerpt
Inherited TBG abnormalities manifest complete deficiency (CD), partial deficiency (PD) or excess in blood. Analysis of the TBG gene revealed that all cases with CD and PD studied so far had mutations within the exon. A nucleotide substitution was found in each case of PD and one of three cases of CD. In two other cases of CD, there was a nucleotide deletion. By the transfection study, it was revealed that TBG-CD...
