Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify mutations in ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) in seven Japanese families with gyrate atrophy (GA), an autosomal recessive chorioretinal degeneration of the eye caused by a generalized biochemical deficiency in OAT; mutations in the OAT gene have shown a high degree of molecular heterogeneity. METHODS: DNA was prepared from patients' fibroblasts and analyzed by polymerase-chain-reaction...
