One of the 2 novel mutations, IVS6nt1, is an intron-exon Junctional mutation which results a splicing defect in mRNA. Arg252Gln is another novel mutation with residual PAH activity only 24 % compared to wild type in in vitro mutagenesis and expression in Cos-1 cell. Other 3 known mutations and polymorphism including Arg241Cys, Arg243Gln and Val245Val(GTG to GTA) together with these novel mutations composed the mutatlonal profile of exon 7 in the PAH gene of PKUs in this populations.展开更多

Six missense mutatlons (l. e. R2413Q. R 241H, G247V,1,2 19H, F2541;lnd G257V )and one silent rnutatlon (V245v ) were identified. The latter three missense mu-tations were demonstrated as novel mltations in comparison with the PAH mutation database. one missense mt1tation (R241 H) was flrst dowumeTlted in Chinese. our results showed populatlon ancl reglon tllffer-ences in the PAH mutation clistribution. and suggest that there is more thfln one founding population forPKU in China. The fincling of novel mutations will enhence the molecular diagnosis of PKU.展开更多

To date, a total of more than 500 mutations have been associated with the disease. In this report, the novel p.Glu182Lys mutation, found in a Portuguese family in combination with the previously reported p.Leu 348Val, is presented and its putative deleterious impact discussed.展开更多
