The autosomal recessive disorder Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (GSDII) is caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme acid -glucosidase. We have optimised a procedure to use fluorescent DNA sequencing technology to screen for mutations within the -glucosidase gene from UK patients with GSDII.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative disorder of muscle, caused by gross rearrangements by the dystrophin gene in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients may carry more subtle mutations that are difficult to detect because of the large size and complexity of
