Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) results in part from genetic disorders. Recently, missense mutations of the cardiac actin gene have been reported to cause DCM. We studied 136 Japanese DCM cases to elucidate how frequently the gene mutations are involved in its pathogenesis. Genomic DNA samples were obt

RT-PCR and direct sequence analyses were used to define mutations in the cystathionine b -synthase (CBS) gene in two unrelated male patients with vitamin B6 nonresponsive homocystinuria. Both patients were compound heterozygotes for CBS alleles containing point mutations. One patient had a maternall
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is characterized by hyperfunction and tumor formation of the parathyroids, anterior pituitary and endocrine pancreas. We carried out exon-specific, PCR-based DNA sequencing of the coding exons of the MEN1 gene in 8 Israeli MEN1 patients: 4 familial and 4 s
Autosomal dominantly inherited ataxias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders. The gene involved in one subtype, spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA l), was first localized to chromosome 6p. An unstable CAG repeat has been identified as the responsible mutation
We examined cDNAs of the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ␣ (185 kDa), the 70 kDa subunit of replication protein A (single-stranded DNA-binding protein) and the 140 kDa subunit of replication factor C for mutations. Surgical specimens from 12 patients with sporadic colon cancer and normal mucosae
