摘要
We reported a Hong Kong Chinese proband with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis in which a novel acceptor splicing site mutation (IVS6-IG>T) was identified. Family screening revealed the same mutation in his elder brother and the youngest sister. All the three affected siblings were compound heterozygous for IVS6-IG>T and a known missense mutation R372Q (GenBank Accession No. M62401). Significant phenotypic variation was noted among them that the youngest sister was still symptom-free at the time of writing. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
