The autosomal recessive disorder Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (GSDII) is caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme acid -glucosidase. We have optimised a procedure to use fluorescent DNA sequencing technology to screen for mutations within the -glucosidase gene from UK patients with GSDII.
The XLRS1 gene (HUGO-approved symbol, RS1) has been found to cause X-linked recessive retinoschisis (RS) which is characterized by splitting of the superficial layer of the retina. Recent mutation analysis of this gene revealed 82 different mutations in 214 patients with RS. We have now identified 1
Four mutations-R778L, A874V, L1083F, and 2304delC-in the copper-transporting enzyme, P-type ATPase (ATP7B), were identified in Korean Patients with Wilson disease. Arg778Leu, the most frequently reported mutation of this enzyme, was found in six of eight unrelated patients studied, an allele frequen
Three novel mutations, Q54P, W70X and T108I, were identified in the gene encoding glucose-6phosphatase in three patients with glycogen storage disease type Ia. Two sibs of Portuguese origin were homozygous for the Q54P mutation whereas the third patient, originating from both France and Lebanon, was
We identified three different point mutations in the glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene in two unrelated Japanese patients with glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I). One patient was a homozygote for Arg355His and the other a compound heterozygote for Ser305Leu and Met339Val. Arg355His and Met339Val a
