Nearly 35% of all mutations identified in the muscle glycogen phosphorylase gene (PYGM) in patients with McArdle disease result in premature termination codons (PTCs), particularly the p.R50X mutation. The latter accounts for more than 50% of the mutated alleles in most Caucasian patient populations
A deletion of a single base in codon 55 (exon 2) of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been identified by direct DNA sequencing of 94 phenylketonuria (PKU) chromosomes. This mutation alters the reading frame so that a stop signal (TAA) is generated in codon 60 of the PAH gene. Haplotype an
