## Communicated by C. Thomas Caskey We have identified the mutations in the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene in five patients with the Lesch Nyhan syndrome (LN) by direct sequencing of hprt cDNA and genomic DNA. Three of the mutations affect splicing of exons 1, 2, and 9, respec
Sjรถgren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spastic diplegia or tetraplegia. The disorder has the highest incidence in the north of Sweden and most of the cases are caused by a C943T mutation in the FALDH gene
We have performed prenatal diagnosis for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) in two unrelated families by direct gene analysis. Using a combined non-radioactive analysis of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex formation (HD), followed by automated sequencing, we studied DNA f
