Genomic DNA from a patient with acute intermittent porphyria were analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct sequencing method. The patient was heterozygote for a point mutation G to C at the last position of exon 12 of the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) gene. Analysis of the eDNA fra

✦ Synopsis
A mutation of the porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase gene that produces the cross-reacting immunological material (CRIM)-negative type of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) has been identified in one of 43 unrelated patients with this form of the disorder. The mutation is a C--~T transition that abolishes a PstI recognition site in exon 9 of the gene and converts a codon for glutamine to a stop codon.

A single base insertion of C in exon 15 of the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) gene was observed in a patient with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct sequencing analysis. The insertion locates between positions -22 and -21 from the translation termination
A sister and brother with severe porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase deficiency are described. Each of their parents carries a different mutation for acute intermittent porphyria and the children are homozygous for the PBG-deaminase deficiency that causes this disorder. Both are compound heterozygotes f
Direct cDNA sequencing was performed on asymmetrically amplified transcripts from the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) gene of thirteen unrelated individuals with acute intermittent porphyria. Four different mutations and a polymorphic site were detected in exon 12 of the gene, four being the resul
Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis was used to screen all 15 exons of the porphobilinogen deaminase gene from 13 patients with acute intermittent porphyria. Unique banding patterns in two amplified gene fragments, one containing exon 9 and another containing exon 10, were further inves
