Frequency of 985A-to-G mutation in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene among patients with sudden infant death syndrome, Reye syndrome, severe motor and intellectual disabilities and healthy newborns in Japan.

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of the 985A-to-G mutation in the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) gene among Japanese patients with sudden infant death syndrome, Reye syndrome, unknown fatty acid oxidation disorders and severe motor and intellectual disabilities was studied using the PCR/Nco-I method for molecular diagnosis. A frequency study of this common mutation was also conducted on blood samples and left over...
