## Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian One of the main features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is benign neurofibromas, 10-20% of which become transformed into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). The molecular basis of NF1 tumorigenesis is, however, still unclear. Ninety-one tumors
In order to determine the molecular defect in the CFTR gene in uncharacterized CF patients from former Yugoslavia, we have employed SSCP analysis of PCR amplified fragments of exon 12 of the CFTR gene (Orita et al., 1989) (primer sequences available on request). A bandshift was detected in a DNA sam
Hereditary tyrosinemia type I (HTI) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) activity. In this work, the FAH genotype was established in a group of 29 HTI patients, most of them from the Mediterranean area. We identified seven novel mutat
