β¦ Synopsis
A proband homozygous for the PiZ allele of the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene was found to be a heterozygous carrier of the additional nucleotide substitution (C-T) within the intron IV-exon V junction (position 9955 in intron IV, 3 bp upstream of its 3'-splice site). This mutation was not found in DNA from either the PiZ heterozygous parents or the PiZ homozygous brother of proband.

and three siblings (aged 17, 20 and 22 years) also had an elongated chromosome 16 short arm. During counselling, the parents were informed of the familial nature of the anomaly. They were informed that the cytogenetic characterization of the chromosome 16 anomaly and the information derived from pre
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), also called hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV), is caused by mutations of the NTRK1 gene coding for the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1.

Communicaced by Chrles 1. Epsrein We have investigated the procollagen, collagen, a2(I) mRNA, and DNA of a proband with type IV 01. The proband synthesized two a 2 ( I) chains, one with normal electrophoretic migration and one more rapidly migrating. The fast a 2 ( I ) chain was relatively retained
