Abstract excerpt
Analysis of glycogen debranching enzyme (debrancher) cDNA from a patient with glycogen storage disease type III revealed a deletion of 124 base pairs. A donor splice site mutation (IVS G+1 to T) was identified in the patient's debrancher gene, which caused exon skipping of the upstream exon and resulted in a truncated enzyme due to premature termination. Mutational analysis of the patient's family showed that...
