RT-PCR and direct sequence analyses were used to define mutations in the cystathionine b -synthase (CBS) gene in two unrelated male patients with vitamin B6 nonresponsive homocystinuria. Both patients were compound heterozygotes for CBS alleles containing point mutations. One patient had a maternall
Ten different mutations have been identified in patients with Becker (n = 1) or Duchenne (n = 9) muscular dystrophy using reverse transcription of total RNA, polymerase chain reaction amplification of the whole coding region of the gene and protein truncation test (PTT) analysis. Seven mutations had
Small consensus sequences have been defined for RNA splicing, but questions about splicing in humans remain unanswered. Analysis of germline mutations in the factor IX gene offers a highly advantageous system for studying the mutational process in humans. In a sample of 860 families with hemophilia
Hemophilia A is an X-linked bleeding disease caused by mutations in the coagulation factor VIII gene. The identification and characterization of pathogenic mutations allows the recognition of new mechanisms of functional disturbances of factor VIII. To screen for mutations exons 1-26 of the factor V
