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...
