A nonsense mutation in the cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 gene identified in a Caucasian with an enzyme deficiency

Hum Genet. 1995 Nov;96(5):601-3. doi: 10.1007/BF00197419.

Abstract

A novel mutation that generates a stop codon in the third exon of the gene encoding the cytochrome P-450 CYP2D6 was identified in a Caucasian having a deficiency of the isozyme, by means of single strand conformation polymorphism analysis of DNA fragments amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, followed by selective sequencing.
