Research Abstract |
We established MLPA analysis of ACAT1 and OXCT1 genes to improve molecular diagnosis of beta-ketothiolase(T2) deficiency and succinyl-CoA : 3-ketoacid CoA transferase deficiency, respectively. We published papers describing 1) T2 "mild" mutation and its effects on clinical(chemical) phenotype 2) clinical characterization of 5 SCOT deficient patients, their mutations, mutational effects on tertiary structure of SCOT molecules. We analyzed splicing order of SCOT transcript in controls and a patient of which SCOT mRNA had two exon skipping. We also analyzed liver-specific silencing of SCOT using Chip assay.
