Abstract excerpt
Molecular analysis of the human tyrosinase gene in two patients suffering from a temperature-sensitive form of albinism has identified a thymine triplet deletion at codon 439 which is accompanied by a duplication of the immediately preceding cytosine residue. This results in a two base pair frame...
