Abstract excerpt
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is a recessively inherited defect in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids. A single nucleotide change, the A985 --> G transition, in the MCAD gene accounts for approximately 90% of all the disease-causing mutations in the patients. We have used PCR to amplify a segment of the human MCAD gene and typed the allelic sequence variation at base 985 by a...
