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 café-au-lait spots, multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and iris Lisch nodules. Rarer are skeletal anomalies, learning disabilities and an incre
More than 500 mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene, making it an excellent system for testing mutation scanning techniques. To assess the sensitivity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), we collected a representative group of 202 CFTR mutations. All mutations analyzed were d
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Defects in the TPO gene are reported to be the cause of congenital hypothyroidism due to a Total Iodide Organification Defect (TIOD). This type of defect, where iodide taken up by the thyroid gland cannot be oxidized an
Mutational analysis of 30 recurrent known mutations detects only about 58% of Hispanic cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes. The low mutation detection rate has greatly hindered prenatal diagnosis and carrier testing of Hispanic families who have multiple affected children with unidentified cystic fibro
