Abstract

Analysis of glucokinase (GCK) gene in a 15-year-old male identified a new frameshift mutation in exon 4 caused by a heterozygous guanine deletion at position 382 (c.382delG, p.E128Xfs). No mutation was detected in the parents. Polymorphic markers' study excluded false paternity indicating that c.382delG is a novel de novo mutation.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
