The truncating R254X mutation in the OCTN2 gene results in defective high-affinity carnitine transport and has been previously described as a founder mutation in the Chinese population. We now report ...
Recently, a novel exon was described in TCOF1 that, although alternatively spliced, is included in the major protein isoform. In addition, most published mutations in this gene do not conform to curre...
OBJECTIVE:: The knowledge of the molecular basis of the Phenylketonuria (PKU, MIM# 261600) in different countries provides relevant information for undertaking specific and rational mutation detection...
A deletion of at least 140 kb starting approximately 35kb upstream (telomeric) to the GJB2 (CX26) gene was identified in 7 patients from 4 unrelated Jewish Ashkenazi families with non-syndromic hearin...
A deletion mutation of 8.6Kb in the CFTR gene, spanning the exons 17a, 17b and 18 was identified in 4 homozygous unrelated Palestinian CF patients. The patients were of various ethnic subgroups includ...
Transgenic mouse mutation detection systems permit rapid determination of the frequency and type of mutations allowing direct examination of mutational markers for aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer...
PURPOSE: Colonoscopies with polypectomies and endometrial biopsies with transvaginal ultrasonography, repeated at 2- to 3-year intervals, are performed for prevention or early detection of cancer in p...
