Abstract excerpt
A new method for identification of R408W mutation common in phenylketonuria (PKU) patients in Russia and Eastern Europe is presented. The method is based on restriction of amplified exon 12. Amplification was achieved by PCR and was followed by restriction with StyI endonuclease. This enzyme specifically recognized allele R408W (C-T change in the position 1444 of the PAH gene) but not the normal allele. The...
