Abstract excerpt
We report the characterization of eight mutations of sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP27) in five Italian patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, who were found to be compound heterozygotes. Four mutations (C --> T at nt 45 of exon 4, G(+1) --> A in intron 6, G(+5) --> T in intron 7, and G(-1...
