Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the earliest and most severe form of all inherited retinal dystrophies. It is a genetically heterogeneous condition as six disease-causing genes have been hitherto identified. Among them, RETGC1 (GUCY2D), is more frequently implicated in our series of LCA patients
Glycogen storage disease type II (GSD II, Pompe's disease), an autosomal recessive inherited disease, is caused by the deficiency of acid a-D-glucosidase, which results in the impaired glycogen degradation in lysosome and causes excess glycogen accumulation in lysosome. In Taiwan, the infantile form
Germ-line mutations in CDKN2A have been shown to predispose to cutaneous malignant melanoma. We have identified 2 new melanoma kindreds which carry a duplication of a 24bp repeat present in the 5' region of CDKN2A previously identified in melanoma families from Australia and the United States. This
The spectrum of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene mutations was determined in 25 families of hyperphenylalaninemia identified by a neonatal screening program in Taiwan. The coding sequence and exon-flanking intron sequences of PAH gene were amplified and sequenced. Mutations were identified in fo
