Abstract excerpt
Prolidase (E.C.3.4.13.9) cleaves iminodipeptides. Prolidase deficiency (PD; McKusick 170100) is an autosomal recessive disorder with highly variable penetrance. We have identified two novel alleles in the prolidase gene (PEPD) by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified cDNA from a PD individual asymptomatic at age 11 years: a 551G-->A transition in exon 8 (R184Q) and a 833G-->A transition in exon 12 (G278D). To assess...
