Three new mutations in the myosin VIIA gene involved in the pathogenesis of Usher syndrome type Ib are reported. These mutations are K1080X in exon 25, E1170K in exon 28, and Y1719C in exon 37. It is presumed that these mutations are involved in the Usher syndrome Ib phenotype.

Propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme located in the mitochondrial matrix. Mutations in the PCCA and PCCB genes, which encode the Ξ± Ξ± and Ξ² Ξ² subunits of this heteropolymer, result in propionic acidemia (PA). We report the molecular analysis of Ξ² Ξ²-deficient patients from Spai
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. We sequenced genomic DNA and RT-PCR products in the iduronate sulfatase (IDS) gene in 6 unrelated patients with Hunter syndrome to assess genotype / p
Aniridia is an autosomal dominant panocular disorder, characterized by hypoplasia of the iris. It is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene. This gene encodes a 422-amino acid transcription factor. This protein includes paired and homeo domains, which bind DNA and a proline-serine and threonine-rich P
We used the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method to investigate 120 Japanese patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) for mutations in the promoter region and the 18 exons and their flanking intron sequence of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Fourteen aberran
## Communicated by Martin Bobrow Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) type muscular dystrophies are allelic X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. About 65% of the cases are caused by deletions, while 5-10% are duplications. The remaining 30% of affected indiv
