چکیده
334 CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 25, No. 2, 1979 is used at pH 7.4 and the fact that this interference depends on the type of tracer and pH at which the assay is performed are significant. Also the observation that the introduction of an ethanol precipitation step into the assay eliminates the effect of variation in the matrixes of commercial standards provides for a significant improvement in the specificity for digoxin methods.

Mutation analysis of Phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in Iranian patients with Phenylketonuria
Background: Phenylketonuria as the most common genetic metabolic disorder is the result of disruption of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. This study was carried out to explore the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene mutation status of Iranian phenylketonuria patients. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 30 patients, and hot spot areas of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene, in...
متن کاملReport of VNTR with 13 Repeats Linked to Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Locus in Unaffected Members of Two PKU Families
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most common metabolic inborn diseases caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. This gene is linked to a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region which is a polymorphic marker that facilitates the implementation of prenatal diagnosis and carrier screening. In this study, VNTR with 13 repeats that has not been reported previously ...
متن کاملPhenylketonuria from Genetics to Clinics: An Iranian Prospect
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder of amino acid metabolism. Thedisease is caused mainly by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, encoding phenylalaninehydroxylase (PAH) enzyme. The PAH enzyme deficiency results in the elevation of phenylalanine inthe blood, which may cause severe irreversible mental retardation in the affect...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most common known inherited metabolic diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the status of molecular defects in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene in western Iranian PKU patients (predominantly from Kermanshah, Hamadan, and Lorestan provinces) during 2014-2016. Additionally, the results were compared with similar studies in Iran. Nucleotide sequen...

Background: The variable numbers of tandem-repeat (VNTR) alleles at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene have been used in carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in phenylketonuria families. This study was carried out to analyze VNTR alleles at the PAH gene in Iranian Azeri Turkish population. Methods: In this study, 200 alleles from general population were studied by PCR. Results: The fr...
