Abstract excerpt
Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycolysis characterized by multisystem disease and lethality in early childhood. Among seven unrelated Northern European kindreds with clinical TPI deficiency studied, a single missense mutation at codon 104 (GAG;Glu-->GAC;Asp) predominated, accounting for 11/14 (79%) mutant alleles. In three families molecular analysis revealed...
