Alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP 27) caused by a G to A mutation at the last nucleotide of exon 6 in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX)

A recently identified G to A mutation at the last nucleotide of exon 6 of the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP 27) in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was shown here to cause alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the gene. Northern blot analysis of the patient's RNA revealed a broa...
