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
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disorder characterized by calcification of elastic fibers in dermal, ocular, and cardiovascular tissues. Recently, ABCC6 mutations were identified as causing PXE. In this follow-up study we report the investigation of 61German PXE patients from 53 families
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal disorder caused by molecular abnormalities in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene coding for the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. So far, more than 160 different mutations responsible for AIP have been identified in this gene.
