[Screening for mutation variants in exons 5, 7, 12 of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene using denaturing gradient gel-electrophoresis].

The assays for analysis of the most frequent mutations of PAH gene in Ukraine (R158Q, R408W, Y414C, P281L, R252W, R261Q) for RKU patients and healthy people using denaturing gradient gel-electrophoresis (DGGE) were developed. The study of spectrum of mutations in exons 5,7,12 PAH gene using DGGE technique and further sequencing of unidentified mutant variants was held.
