In Family A, a single T → A missense mutation at nt 4105 was detected for both patient AII-1 and patient AIII-1, resulting in the substitution of Ile for Phe606 (F606I, Fig3A). The normal allele was also identified in both of these patients. These patients were also heterozygous for a commonly occurring A/G polymorphism at nt 4141,40 and a T/C polymorphism at nt 4641,40with the 4141A and the 4641T polymorphisms occurring in association with the missense mutation (data not shown).
