## Communicated by Johannes Zschocke A method for mutation detection in the alpha-1 antitrypsin gene (protease inhibitor 1; PI) has been developed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR amplified gene fragments. Using this experimental approach, all common phenotypes and mutations co

A single base substitution is responsible for the PI-Z mutation in alpha-l-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. The Z mutation, which is in exon V of the AAT gene, was analysed directly using a primer designed with a single base substitution in the DNA sequence. During the polymerase chain reaction with th
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of between 1: 3000 and 1: 4000. Common clinical signs include more than six cafΓ©-au-lait spots, multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and iris Lisch nodules. Rarer are skeletal anomalies, learning disabilities and an incre
