Abstract excerpt
The G46S mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene was identified by fluorescence-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (F-SSCP) analysis on phenylketonuria (PKU) haplotype 5.9 alleles. DNA sequencing of PAH exon 2 revealed a G-to-A transition in cDNA position 136. G46S mutations were present on 17 of 236 Norwegian PKU alleles (7.2%) and on 8 of 176 Swedish PKU alleles (4.5%). Analysis of all...
