Abstract:
Restriction fragments of the aldolase B gene were studied in 11 patients with hereditary fructose intolerance and compared with the normal pattern. No major deletion of the gene was observed. One patient was found to be a compound heterozygote since one allele with normal restriction sites was inherited from the mother and the other with an abnormal Bam HI site was inherited from the father. The anomaly of the Bam HI fragment observed in this family was not found in 62 normal controls from the same origin as the patient.

02:21Pedigree Analysis
A pedigree is a diagram displaying a family’s history of a trait. Analyzing pedigrees can reveal (1) whether a trait is dominant or recessive, (2) the type of chromosome, autosomal or sex, a trait is linked to, (3) genotypes of family members, and (4) probabilities of phenotypes in future generations. For families with a history of autosomal or sex-linked diseases, this information can be crucial to family planning.Pedigrees Display Family HistoriesIn various plant and animal species,...
01:27Glucose Transporters
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
