In this study we report the mutation analysis performed in Cuban PKU patients using DGGE and direct sequencing. Sixteen different mutations have been detected, which account for 91% of the total mutant alleles. Haplotype analysis and genealogical data support the European (mainly Spanish) origin of
Cummunicated by Sauio L. C. Woo We characterized two novel mutations of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) gene in two Japanese patients with GALT deficiency and identified N 3 14D and R333W mutations, previously found in Caucasians. One novel missense mutation was an G-to-A transit
We report the spectrum of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene mutations in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) residing in Lithuania. A total of 184 independent chromosomes was investigated. R408W mutation was first analysed through restriction enzyme digestion of exon 12. The remaining uncharacter
Characterization of the molecular basis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in Latvia has been accomplished through the analysis of 96 unrelated chromosomes from 50 Latvian PKU patients. Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene mutations have been analyzed through a combined approach in which R158Q, R252W, R261Q,
