Abstract excerpt
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a severe autosomal recessive inborn error of glyoxylate metabolism caused by deficiency of the hepatic peroxisomal enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase. This enzyme is encoded by the AGXT gene on chromosome 2q37.3. DNA samples from 79 PH1 patients were studied using single strand conformation polymorphism analysis to detect sequence variants, which were then...
