Abstract excerpt
We present the results of a comprehensive study on the molecular basis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in Denmark. A strategy relying on PCR in combination with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis for analyzing the coding sequence and splice site junctions of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene allowed us to detect a molecular defect on 99% of 308 Danish PKU chromosomes. The mutational spectrum consists of 35...
