✦ Synopsis

A deletion of a single base in codon 55 (exon 2) of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been identified by direct DNA sequencing of 94 phenylketonuria (PKU) chromosomes. This mutation alters the reading frame so that a stop signal (TAA) is generated in codon 60 of the PAH gene. Haplotype analysis revealed that all PKU alleles showing the codon 55 frameshift mutation exhibited haplotype 1. In our panel of DNA probes 13% of all mutant haplotype 1 alleles carry this particular mutation. Patients who were compound heterozygotes for this deletion and R408W in exon 12, or the splice mutation in intron 12, were affected by severe PKU. Thus, the clinical data provide additional evidence that haplotype 1 PKU alleles carry molecular defects which confer a null phenotype. In addition, we were able to show that the newly detected mutation occurs on alleles of different ethnic background.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common autosomal recessive disease with a wide range of clinical manifestation. In 90-95% of the cases it is caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (OMIM #201910) due to mutations of the CYP21 gene (GDB Accession #M12792). In most cases the CYP21-inactivating p

We here describe the detection of a de novo mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in a Norwegian phenylketonuria (PKU) patient. This novel mutation, MlI, disrupts the start codon of the gene by a G to A transition. The compound heterozygote genotype (IVS-lZ/MlI) of this patient predicts tha
