Abstract excerpt
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of glyoxylate metabolism caused by deficiency of the hepatic peroxisomal enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). The disease shows considerable phenotypic, enzymatic and genetic heterogeneity. To date, 7 polymorphisms and 11 point mutations have been described in the gene encoding AGT. We report on the prevalence of these...
