Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor gene. We found a new mutation in the splice acceptor site of intron 1 of the LDL receptor gene, which is designated as 68-1 G->C according to the nomenclature suggested by , in

✦ Synopsis
We found a novel acceptor splice site mutation in the invariant AG of intron 6 of a-galactosidase A (a-Gal A) gene (IVS6-1G->A) in a patient with Fabry disease by sequencing of genomic DNA. Sequencing of RT-PCR revealed the deletion of first base pair (c909del) of exon 7 in mRNA and a frameshift resulting in premature termination. This mutation gives rise to a rare aberrant splicing (Simultaneous 3' destruction and 3' creation).

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) occurs mainly from mutations of polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) gene. A novel mutation of the PKD1 gene due to a nucleotide substitution in splice-acceptor site of IVS13 (AG->TG) was identified by analyses of PKD1-cDNA and genomic DNA. The IVS1
